FOR PARENTS ONLY NO NANNY AGENCIES I am excited to connect with a family seeking a full-time, long-term nanny who can grow alongside them! With over 21 years of professional experience, I have had the privilege of working with families with a wide range of chilcare needs. My responsibilities have included establishing developmentally appropriate daily schedules and routines, which includes a wide range of fun activities. Engaging with little ones through playtime, music, singing, and reading brings me much joy and delight. Whether it’s a fun day at the park, a trip to the library, or organizing play dates, I believe in creating enriching experiences for children. I have a strong ability to understand and to meet the needs of children while ensuring that they follow developmentally appropriate daily routines. I bring a wealth of knowledge about calming techniques, gained from reading, listening to parents, and from my own extensive Read more experience. I also assist families dealing with a child's medical or unique developmental needs in managing medicine regimens, feeding schedules, including tube feeding as needed. My broad understanding of childcare also means that I am committed to supporting the entire family. I will assist you with household tasks, ensuring everything in your household runs smoothly, which is something working parents greatly appreciate. From tidying up to taking care of the children's clothes, I believe in creating an organized and loving environment. As a caring, mature, and dedicated childcare professional, your family's interests will always be my priority. In addition to being a proud mom of two amazing adult children, I am passionate about using my gifts and talents to serve at my church and give back to the community, locally and internationally. In the words of my long-term employer, Ms. S: “Margaret is reliable and dedicated, and was a gift to our family during the four full years she served with us.” I look forward to hearing from you!

It was our great pleasure to work with Miss Margaret. She is experienced, kind, patient and a great teacher overall. She was always on time and maintained a good schedule for our kids. She became a part of our family in very short period of time and kids loved her.

Margaret is an excellent nanny. She took care of our baby girl for 6 months as a transition time before she went to day care. Margaret made sure that our daughter received both loving care and the stimulus she needed to develop including reading books, singing and playing. Margaret is very good at communicating changes with your baby (e.g. needing more or less sleep, food, likes/dislikes, etc.) as well as making changes as you request (e.g. our baby needed more tummy time so Margaret focused on that). I would highly recommend Margaret as a nanny for your child.
