Hello, My name is Maggie, I am 29 years old, a college graduate and medical administration student. My availability starting May 19 is completely open until august 19. I have been working for the same family for three years, but due to change in employment (on their part) I am no longer needed on a week by week basis. I have probably been through every scenario you could imagine in regard to kids ( other than broken bones etc. , thank heavens). I believe that in order to keep a child happy and healthy you have to be consequential in your actions and deliver what is promised. There has to be a very clear form of communication with the parent and care giver in order to keep a stable and healthy environment where the child is not receiving opposing signals. If there is one major thing I've learned it is Read more that children have a strong need to know what is expected out of them, and function best under strong guidance. I am very active, I work out every day and keep a very healthy diet. I have no problem taking care of your sick child when and if they fall ill (even if it's a stomach bug). My expectations in regard to the family is that I would like to see a strong form of communication, mutual respect, and understanding. I am always up for playing outside and helping with homework. I know how to cook, and I am willing to do light housekeeping. If you would like a list of references please contact me personally, and I would have no problem providing their contact information. if you have any questions feel free to contact me via this website or directly at (224) 425 8311. Maggie

Maggie has been with us for 2 years now and is a tremendous nanny. She has helped me as a single mother with keeping the children's physicals up to date, taking them to the doctor when they are sick, closing the gaps with registrations for activities and schools not to mention teaching them to have respect and encouraging best behavior and manners. I have 5 kids ranging from 3-16 and her accomplishments with my children are fantastic and much appreciated. I can never repay her for what she has contributed to our lives. Thanks Maggie and Good luck in school.
