• Comfortable with pets

Hi my name is Megan and I moved to Chicago a little over a year ago from Michigan. In 2017, I graduated from DePauw University with a bachelors in Conflict Studies. I’m very experienced with conflict management and conflict descalation techniques. My major, as well as the student organizations I was involved in, frequently brought me to the local elementary school where I organized educational events, art projects, or took part in game nights with the k-5th grade students. I was also a camp counselor two years in a row with kids aged 12-13. Additionally, I volunteered at a daycare for a year with children aged under a year to 13/14. I recently nannied three children for six months, ages 4, 8, and 10, for five months. I’m also certified in pediatrics first aid and pediatrics mental health first aid. While at DePauw, I took several courses on childhood development Read more and psychology. I think it’s important for children to remain active both physically and mentally. This could include sledding, building snowmen or walks through parks on “scavenger” hunts for the biggest pinecone. In the past, I have encouraged the kids I watch to use their imaginations, whether that was through art projects, self-made plays, or building forts. Quiet time is equally beneficially and it’s important to take time in between busier activities to read, nap, or do puzzles.
