Thank you for your time and interest. My name is Megan and I am 23 years old. I currently attend the University of Illinois at Chicago where I will graduate with my Bachelor's degree in history in December. For the past 3 years I have had the privilege of working with several endearing families with some of the sweetest kiddos around. My experience includes working with children whose ages range from 2-10 years old. I have worked with children in numerous settings, such as babysitting, nannying, and coaching. My past employers would say I am honest, trustworthy, responsible, loyal, loving, flexible, and nurturing. They have found that I am enthusiastic about my work and I enjoy keeping a tidy house. I love animals, so house pets are always treated as a member of the family! I enjoy watching children develop and learn and believe it's important to provide children with Read more a high interest, fulfilling, and enriched environment. People, surroundings, and experiences are key factors that influence and shape children. I feel my responsibility as a nanny is to provide children with the best possible education, knowledge, and choices so they are able to grow to their maximum potential. It is also my belief that children should be given the ability to become independent individuals by setting limits with positive discipline, praise, and encouragement. Interactive choices and empowering others to be confident in their own free will while still being respectful and honoring those around them is important. I love the opportunity to get messy and energetic with children, but also embracing the clean-up afterward as a learning task of completing the goal of a rewarding, full day. At times, there is a need for quiet contemplation and learning; however, I can say that my kiddos and I have never had a boring day. Being interactive with nature and animals, respectful and social with others, taking age appropriate risks and developing problem-solving strategies are vital for developing a well-rounded child. As a nanny I will serve as a loving, friendly, nurturing, and trustworthy mentor and friend to your kiddo(s). Nannying has been such a fulfilling and rewarding experience that has filled my life with endless bliss. I am seeking further nannying opportunities to continue doing what I love, while broadening my experience! I am honored to take care of the children I meet, and have a positive impact on their lives. I look forward to meeting you and your child(ren)!
