Hello! My name is Meridith. I have been a nanny / babysitter off and on for many years. I have my degree in psychology with a minor in child and family studies. I stated watching children when I was twelve and by the time I was in college I was a nanny for several families. I stopped nannying professionally and picked up babysitting jobs after graduating college. My goal at the time was to find full time employment with my degree. Over the years I have worked as a caseworker both with young adults and children, but I have found social work is not my calling. I'm a firm believer in nurturing children through hands on activities and NOT through the television. I enjoy crafts and spending time outdoors or reading with the children I've watched in the currently and in the past. I have worked with kids ranging in Read more age from newborn to teenage years. I will do light cleaning, such as picking up the kitchen / folding laundry. I will help with some light meal prep if needed as well. I'm a big believe in clean eating, so I will be happy to prepare healthy snacks for your loved ones. I have my own car for transportation. I am willing to discuss the possibility of using my car if needed, and what the stipulations would be. I look forward to working with your family! If you feel I'd be a good match for your kiddos please reach out, thank you!
