We have had Meaghan out to babysit for us three times and plan to have her come out regularly. During the last two times, I was in and out of the house and so got to observe how she kept both my six-month-old and two-year-old happy -- no simple task! She was great at playing with and reading to the kids throughout her time at our house and was also able to get my infant down for a nap.

Meaghan really is awesome. Hands down and no doubt about it! She was able to charm my stranger-adverse 17-month-old with no problem. My daughter was a little shy at first, but after 15 minutes, Meaghan had her playing and we were able to sneak out for the evening. Meaghan was professional, on-time, reliable, text messaged us with updates/questions, and did a fantastic job getting our little one to bed. I found Meaghan on Sittercity and I will definitely be using her again! I can't recommend Meaghan enough. She has a way with small children, and that is a unique gift...

We've had Meaghan watch our 3 1/2 year old and 15 month old twice now and she's been great! She has a very calm, sweet personality that both of my kids immediately took to. My 3 1/2 year old loves her and even talks about how we should invite her over to play. We'll definitely be using her again. Thanks Meaghan!

Meaghan arrived right on time and immediately was taken on a home tour by my 4 year old which she feel right in with. It was nice to see someone so at ease with the preschool personality. Will definitely call Meaghan again.

Meaghan was wonderful and gave grandmas a much needed sitting break during our busy holiday season. My son loved her and had a huge smile on when I got home. She was super flexible when I ended up out later than I thought and even put my son down for his nap which no one but us or grandma had ever done and he took his normal 2.5 hour nap! She was wonderful with our spoiled dogs as well!!

We found Meaghan though this site to watch our two-year-old daughter for a few hours per week. We had never had anyone watch our girl before, so it was a little scary for us, but Meaghan made it easy and smooth and our girl really liked her instantly. It has been such a tremendous help and relief and has been wonderful to watch our daughter enjoy being with her.

We had Meaghan as our first babysitter ever for our 10 week old, and she completely put our minds at ease. She is sweet, reliable, and fully capable of caring for our young son. We will definitely call on her again.

Meaghan is great! Very punctual and engages with the children. The kids can't wait to have her back... and neither can we.

Meaghan has been working for us for a few weeks now. She is always on time, gives the kids all of her attention, and is independent in finding ways to creatively fill the time with the kids. Our kids, 4 and almost 2, are always happy to see her and we are able to leave, knowing they are in good hands.

Meaghan is great with our 4-month-old daughter, even when the baby is cranky. She is always on time and keeps us updated on how things are going when we check in. We highly recommend Meaghan as a sitter.

Meaghan is great! She is the first person I have ever used as a babysitter for my 14 month old daughter. She did perfectly, she was on time, very professional and put my mind at ease. Being our first time with a sitter Meaghan was completely understanding of my anxiety and sent me text messages (at my request) expressing that things were going smoothly and there was no need to worry. We will absolutely use Meaghan again!

Meaghan is great! On time, reliable and very at ease with kids. She has a good rapport with my 18 month old daughter. We will definitely have her back!

I contacted Meaghan based on the review of others and was not disappointed! She agreed to watch my 3 children on very short notice and I couldn't have been more pleased. We don't have sitters very often, so I was a little nervous, but everything went very well. I definitely hope to have Meaghan over again. What a relief to finally find someone that the kids really like!

Meaghan arrived on time and jumped in right away to help. She was very friendly and comfortable with our little baby, even with him having a crying spell. I'd hire her again.

Meaghan was great with our very active 19 month old son. She was on time, listened carefully to instructions, and talked and played with our son in a calm and caring way. He warmed up to her immediately. We will use her again!

Meaghan is a great childcare resource - she exudes calm and confidence, is firm but affectionate with my kids, and is always prompt. I feel very comfortable leaving my twins in her capable hands.

Meaghan was great! Our 2 year old was very excited when she came over. They played lots of games and had a great time. Meaghan came early when asked last minute and was able to oblidge. We will be happy to work with her again.

Meaghan was excellent! She helped us out in a bind, watched 2 children ages 2 and 18mo, and got them both to sleep for us. The kids loved playing with her and even were talking about her the next day. If she lived closer (we were from out of town), we would definitely use her again. Thanks again Meaghan!

Had Meaghan out to watch our three kids (all under age 6). She was great. On time, very responsible. Will use her again.
