Meagan was wonderful! We were looking for a backup sitter last minute and she came through for us. She was professional, respectful, and took care of my 3 year old and 1 year old with ease. They had a lot of fun with her! I would be so happy have Meagan care for my kiddos if she is in town again!

I hired Meagan as a temporary nanny for my 1-year-old. She cared for my daughter 2 days per week for 5 weeks. During this time she also did several date nights/weekends. We were extremely pleased with Meagan in every way: Her demeanor with my daughter; her ability to follow instructions/routine; she took her to the park, put her to bed if I had to work late, and cleaned up the house. My daughter warmed up to her right away and I know she enjoyed Meagan's company. Meagan, is still my go-to for back-up care or date nights.

I truly can't say enough good things about Meagan. She is incredibly thoughtful and engaging, and my two children instantly took to her. It was obvious the moment she came in the door that she has had a lot of experience and really loves what she does. There were a few times that she had to make some judgement calls regarding the kids and when she informed me about them in the evening upon my return, I was absolutely in awe that she used so much wisdom and good judgement in the care of my little ones....I could not have done it better myself. I feel completely confident in her abilities and look forward to having her back again and again.

Meagan showed up much earlier than the original posting time when asked, and was very clear about her schedule. She understood and interpreted house rules in ways that made sense for our son. She gave updates via text and asked questions when necessary. She was very good with our somewhat difficult dog and clearly had a lot of experience with animals. Most importantly, Meagan had fun and kept Archer happy and well fed. I would hire her again in a moment and recommend her highly.

Meagan was great! She was on time, helped watch the children (girl 2.5 yrs and boy 10 mos) while my husband and I put the finishing touches on the dinner we were serving. She even stepped in to give them baths so that we could make it to our destination on time. She put them to bed and texted me to let me know that they were both asleep. And when we got home she gave us all of the details about how the evening went. She had even cleaned up the remaining dishes from dinner that we didn't have a chance to get to before rushing out the door. She went above and beyond our expectations. We would definitely bring her back to watch our children again.

Meagan is the best babysitter we've ever used! My boys (aged 4 and 6) LOVE her and are super sad that she is moving away from our area. Meagan watched my 4 yo son several mornings a week so that I could run errands, and I was blown away by how much fun they had together. She also occasionally watched both of my sons in the evening so my husband and I could go out. My boys are super high energy but Meagan was able to keep them calm and engaged. She is not a “sit on her cell phone” type of sitter- she truly plays with the kids. And she is willing to help out in any way possible. Often she would take my dog with her when she took my son on a bike ride, just because she knew the dog could use an extra walk. Not many babysitters are willing to go above and beyond like that! She is super responsible and I felt completely comfortable having her drive my son to nearby parks. Meagan is great. Have her watch your kids- you will not be disappointed!
