Meet Megan
- Comfortable with pets
I am an outgoing 34 year old female from Colorado who moved to New York about 5 years ago. I am fully vaccinated and boosted (Moderna). In the past, I worked for a Caregiving Agency for over a decade, providing care to children ages 3 months to 13 years old. My job required me to adapt very quickly to the needs of different households and earn the trust of both the parents and the child. I understand how to cultivate a fun environment for your child while enforcing the rules and boundaries set forth by the parents. Additionally, I maintained a certification in First Aid/CPR for both infant and child adult training. I can cook, help with homework, read books, practice after school activities or any other myriad tasks that may come up. Supplementally, I have taught English to elementary and middle school children in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Kenya, and Read more completed a Teach English as a Foreign Language certificate program in Prague. Finally, I grew up with dogs and functioned as a dog walker when I first moved to the city and therefore am very comfortable around family pets. 2018-2020, I worked for one family who had one 4-year old boy (and continued until age 6). Because of the ongoing pandemic, the family left the city permanently and I currently work part-time with another family with children ages 6 and almost 9. They are moving soon (June) and I a looking for opportunities again. I am an actor and love anything to do with the creative arts! I worked at an Off-Broadway theatre in pre-pandemic times and love any chance to use my imagination and tell stories. Being from Colorado, I love being outside and learning about our relationship with the environment and food and bringing that back into the kitchen. Given the times, I would also like to mention that I am very aware of the current pandemic and take extra precautions to limit my exposure to COVID-19. I wear a mask when I go outside, wash my hands constantly, and avoid large gatherings and public transit. I am fully vaccinated (as are the 2 roommates I live with).
