Hello! My name is Megan and I've been babysitting for more than 15 years. I'm certified in First Aid and CPR and can work with any age level. I spent 7 summers as a camp counselor and have taught several babysitting classes. After taking a break due to a position that required extensive travel, I’m interested in incorporating sitting back into my schedule! When babysitting, I enjoy doing crafts, cooking, reading, baking, building forts and playing games. As I work part-time I'm only looking for families that need occasional evening and weekend sitting. I would love to talk with you and learn more about your family!

Megan has been caring for our now 6 yr old since before he turned 3. We all love Megan, especially our son. Always engaging, creative and so caring- she's become a trusted surrogate family member that we cherish.

Worked wonderfully with our 2.5 year old son. She kept him happy, busy and well-fed. We will definitely be calling on Megan, again.

We used Megan as a back up sitter when my 18 month old was sick and had to stay home from daycare. I work from home, so could see how she interacted with him - she was absolutely wonderful! We'd use her again in a heartbeat.

Megan is incredible! She so obviously adores children. We would leave her with our daughter again any time. Plus, she's an amazingly great sport-- even after her car got towed because we forgot to give her a parking pass. (Sorry Megan!) We hope that you'll accept out calls in the future!

Megan is an excellent child care provider. She is very child-focused and responsible. Our two year old son loves to show her the latest and greatest when she walks in the door. I also really enjoy the way Megan engages both our sons in activities etc. She has our highest recommendation.
