I am currently in a Dual Masters program, receiving a Master of Science in Child Development from the Erikson Institute and a Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago. I am creative and energetic and I have a very thoughtful and loving nature that has and will continue to help me work well with children and families. I have worked in the child care field for 10 years in a variety of roles, including as a nursery care attendant for infants and toddlers, a camp counselor for third through twelfth graders, a Sunday school teacher for 2-year-olds, a summer preschool teacher's assistant for 3, 4 and 5-year-olds and a part-time teacher's aide for a Pre-K classroom for a year after college before graduate school. I am currently volunteering at a children's hospital, working in the infant toddler play group and working as a first level intern Fussy Baby Network. Read more I have certifications for special training in Crisis Prevention, Safeguarding children and Trust Based Relational Intervention. I have also been trained as a grief center group facilitator at 3 grief/counseling services and two hospital. My varied experience in the child care industry has taught me how to provide a supportive and fun environment for young children. I have worked with many ages of children, from many walks of life, as well as interacted with parents and fellow employees in many types of settings.

Megan showed up on time, and our daughter immediately took to her. When we got home a few hours later, our daughter was tucked up in bed sleeping soundly. Can't ask for anything more!

She engaged my kids instantly. I left home with confidence. She kept my posted by SMS and when I came back my kids were sleeping. I will definitely book her again.
