Hi there! My name is Margaret! I've been working in childcare for over a decade as a nanny, babysitter, camp counselor, and arts educator. I have a degree in Theater and Performance Studies from Georgetown University and love using my arts background to inspire creative play, empathy, and confidence in kids! My own babysitters and nannies growing up were hugely impactful in my development. I understand what a privilege it is to be trusted with caring for your children and I hope to form a trusting and compassionate relationship with you and your family. My experience ranges from caring for one child at a time to teaching classes of 25. I am CPR/AED-certified, which includes strong skills in first aid and medical emergency care. As a babysitter, I want to make your life as easy as possible while also providing a nurturing and engaging atmosphere for your child. No matter Read more the occasion, I will always approach a babysitting job with creativity and care. Kids are the most exciting, loving, and complicated people I know. Every child deserves caretakers who will respect them as people, love them wholeheartedly, and celebrate what makes them special. I'm always happy to chat with prospective families so we can get to know each other and I can answer any questions you might have. It would be an absolute honor to support your family! I hope to meet you soon :)

Margaret was a lovely baby sitter for our little girl! (<1 year old) She was always reliable, communicative, and great with our daughter. She is a trustworthy and wonderful babysitter.

We have hired Margaret several times for the past few months for date nights and she has been wonderful. Our kids adore her and frequently ask, "when is Margaret coming back?" She is a natural with kids, very sweet and approachable, and she indulges their beautiful imaginations with all kinds of play—board games, toys, coloring, acting (I can see where the theater background working with kids comes in nicely!). We will keep asking her back for as long as she is available. 100% recommend. Sincerely, Grateful Parents :)
