I am a mother of a 16-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy, with many years of experience caring for children aged 0 to 36 months. I have a background in Psychology and a deep passion for working with children. I love cooking, spending time outdoors, engaging in crafts, and telling stories. Since moving from Brazil six years ago, I have worked as a caregiver for elderly individuals while continuing to study child development. Recently, I earned certification from the Positive Discipline Association, and I firmly believe that respectful and positive communication fosters a safe and supportive environment for children to grow and learn. I love to laugh, always look on the bright side of life, and enjoy the company of both children and dogs.

Hello parents, my name is Meghann. I have been working in childcare for a year and a half now. My first job as a nanny was with a big family of four children aged 4 months old, 3, 5, and 10 years old. After that, I moved on to work at a two daycare the first daycare i work at was working with in infants and toddler but I was bouncing around to preschool whenever they need with the second daycare i work at is at home daycare i work with the same group of kids with the previous of daycare i work. I also work with kids that have special needs, both toddlers. Other than that I do activities including arts and crafts, outdoor play, music and movement, story time, and structured learning activities like puzzles, memory match games, and building blocks. I also do have CPR and first aid certification that wouldn't expire until 2027 and some early childhood education and training programs. In my job people would ask me what interests me working with children. It's because working with children can be incredibly rewarding, as it involves fostering growth, sparking creativity, and building meaningful relationships, all while making a positive impact on young lives. I find immense joy in helping them learn and grow.

My family is full of children of all ages and I have always been known as the go-to babysitter. I am going to college for premed and I plan on becoming a pediatrician. I chose my major in medicine because I love kids and I would love to be able to help kids to overcome medical conditions. I previously worked as a waitress at a pizzeria and I just currently quit my job as a pharmacist assistant at a family owned pharmacy, so that I can have an open availability to be a babysitter(:
