Hi there families! My name is Megan, and I’ve been in childcare since 2005. I studied Early Childhood Education, Library Science, and I’m currently enrolled in Newborn Care Specialist training, which will likely be followed by doula training! Over the last couple decades, I have worked with ages 0-12. Most of my experience lies in early childhood, as I typically begin nannying during infancy and prepare them for pre-school. However, many of my previous positions have included care for older siblings, providing transportation to and from school and extracurricular activities, as well as aiding in homework completion. Aside from nannying experience, I’ve worked in both daycare and in-home settings. I have several years of managerial experience in a drop-in center, often for 25+ children ages 0-12. I’ve also provided assistance to adults with physical limitations. I'm certified in Adult, Child, and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED, have experience with food allergies, seizures, Read more behavioral disorders, chronic disorders, and speech delays. I am comfortable administering medication and driving with children in my care. I practice gentle parenting, sleep training, and a variety of language techniques (I often repeat simple phrases in Spanish and/or ASL). I strive to work together with family/parents/children as a true part of the team, and value open communication. Just a bit about me-- I love yoga, gardening, and hanging with my partner and our four critters (so I’m very pet friendly!). I'm a lover of books, music, and arts & crafts. I love taking those things outside for a little sunshine, and implicating them into childcare. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to connect!
