I am 36 years old, loving, caring and extremely outgoing person. I graduated with a early childhood teaching degree. I also have my masters degree in special education. I have been teaching for 12 years and have nannied every summer. I am looking to leave the world of education and take on a full time or part- time nanny position. I love being on the move and constantly playing with the kids. Keeping active is always a good thing to keep the children happy. I love playing games, going to the park, going on walks and pretty much am open to what the children want to do within reason and safety. I am the youngest of seven children so I have had my fair share of experience with kids. I feel as though I would make a great and positive impact on any family that is willing to give me Read more the opportunity : )

Meghan was the first sitter I was to interview! The day of the interview - she cancelled! We rescheduled for a few days later to which she never showed! I am disappointed!

We had Meghan watch our boys and we really appreciated the confidence in knowing that she was kind to our children and attentive to their needs. They look forward to seeing her again. We will definitly use her again. Thanks

Meghan walked into my family room and my son stopped what he was doing to give her a big hug. That pretty much says it all! Seriously, Meghan is a wonderful sitter. She's warm, patient, intelligent, prompt, responsible - everything you could want. She sat for us weekly throughout the summer and I would gladly recommend her to any family needing a caring, competent sitter.
