Hi! My name is Meg, and I am a highly experienced Nanny and former kindergarten and Conflict Resolution teacher, receiving my Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Columbia University in Early Childhood Education and Conflict Resolution (the latter of which definitely comes in handy when caring for youngsters!). After spending many years teaching kindergI have worked with a very wide variety of families and children, the past Hi, my name is Meg, and with a lifetime of experience as a caregiver of all ages I have decided to go back to my roots of life's passions, molding the minds of the next generation. I enjoy spending time with kids going for walks and being outside, going puddle jumping and rock hunting. I'm great at playing card and board games, listening to music, coming up with homemade science experiments, working on puzzles, helping with homework and getting messy in the kitchen (don't Read more worry, I clean up like a pro!) Being extremely creative, I also enjoy doing arts and crafts projects, building forts, singing, dancing, playing dress up and make-believe and anything that encourages the imagination. All age appropriate of course, and with the intention of further developing their individual interests and skill sets (fyi: although I always respect the ultimate decisions that parents make for their own children, I am for the most part not a fan of over utilization of screen time/television - I personally believe that it rots one's brain a bit- and the real world is far too interesting :)). I strive to encourage and nurture healthy social interaction, positive self-esteem, and curious exploration with each child that I care for. I'm extremely dependable and organized, COVID-19 vaccinated, First Aid and CPR certified, a nonsmoker, and have a perfect driving record (I'm such a good driver that I've never even so much has gotten a parking ticket in my life!). I am looking for placements, ideally regular, in the Corvallis/Albany area. And ah yes, I have fantastic references!
