About Margaret

Experience: 10 yrs

Fostering a child's growth and development is my true passion. With over 15 years of experience, I bring a patient, calm, and upbeat approach to caring for children. I hold CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications, and my Early Child Development coursework helps me support your little ones effectively. As a mother, I understand the importance of having a reliable partner who cares for your children exactly the way you envision. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and carpooling. Whether we are playing board games, solving puzzles, or enjoying outdoor sports, I love keeping children active and engaged. I prioritize your preferences for household rules and maintain clear communication through your chosen method. I truly look forward to becoming a trusted, helpful addition to your family's daily routine.

Exceptional, Highly Experienced, and Truly Invaluable Nanny! We cannot recommend Margaret highly enough! She cared for our daughter for the past 6 months on a part-time basis in our home, and she quickly became a trusted, indispensable part of our family. Margaret managed all aspects of daily care with absolute ease, including diapering, meal prep, nap routines, reading, and planning wonderful age-appropriate activities. Because of her background and experience in early childhood education, she was invaluable in helping our daughter hit critical developmental milestones. Why Margaret stands out: Ultimate Professionalism & Reliability: Her communication is incredible. She always arrives on time, communicates proactively about schedules, and was incredibly flexible when our workday scheduling needed adjustment. Calm & Attentive Demeanor: She is responsive & exercises good judgment. Whether handling a minor infant illness or a small household emergency, she used excellent judgment and kept us updated via text throughout the day. We always knew our daughter was safe and deeply cared for. Above and Beyond Support: Margaret truly made our household run smoothly. She willingly took on extra tasks outside of standard childcare, like walking our dog and assisting our live-in in-laws. We are only losing Margaret because our family is relocating to another city, and we are incredibly sad to see her go. If you are looking for a kind, dependable, and highly experienced caregiver who will treat your child like family, hire Margaret without reservation!
