Meet Megan

All of my jobs and previous high school experiences have always involved me working with kids. You can describe me as responsible, enthusiastic, and trustworthy when it comes to my interactions with children and their family. I am currently a junior at Northern Illinois University with a major in Nursing. I also recently received a minor in Family and Child Studies. My summer break ends around August 14th. I worked at a YMCA drop in day care for four years. The job entailed interacting and entertaining children from 7 months to 8 years old. I have been babysitting families since 2009. Some families had up to three kids, ages ranged from about 1 to 9 years old. I am currently a CPR/First Aid, child abuse prevention, and blood borne pathogen prevention certified. I also have personal experience from living with a younger sister and dog. So if you are looking Read more for a pet sitter, I have experience with all types of dogs too. When I attended high school, I was an assistant teacher in their preschool program for almost two years. The class involved me teaching children by incorporating lesson plans and crafts. My driving record is clean. My certifications: American Red Cross CPR, AED, First Aid certified 2011-current, Bloodborne Pathogens certified 2011-current, Praesidium Advance Child Abuse Prevention certified 2011-current, DCFS Mandated Reporter certified 2013-current, Emergency Response certified 2014-current.
