About Margaret

Experience: 20 yrs

I have worked with children for close to 30 yrs. The fun all started when I was 12 yrs old as a babysitter for my 6th grade teacher. Once I started college I continued working with children as a nanny for 4 years. Over the last 30 years I have had the privileged of partnering with over 31 families. Between babysitting, being a nanny, running a home daycare (watching only 2-3 babies) substitute teaching and private language teaching. I feel I understand children and can read them pretty easy. Most of my experience is with kids ages 2 months through 6 years. I have also been a substitute teacher kindergarten through high school. I have come back to the professional nanny field by choice. After a stint working in the professional world, and having my own family, I realize the early years are a ton of fun. I am looking to find families that are wanting a partnership to help raise their little human . I know ASL, limited Spanish and French. Limited space, so please reach out if interested.

Margaret was a lifesaver when my husband was away for two months. She took wonderful care of my 16 month old once a week, which gave me a much-needed break. My toddler was struggling with a bit of separation anxiety, but Margaret didn’t bat an eye. She helped him feel safe and comfortable, always happy to read his favorite books (on repeat), play music and dance with him, and take him to the park (his favorite place). She weathered teething, stranger anxiety, and our clingy lap dog without hesitation or complaint during her two months with us. I always felt safe leaving my son with Margaret. Outside of her extensive professional experience with children, she has raised three of her own children to adulthood. I really appreciated the support and guidance she provided to me when I wasn’t always feeling so confident in my own parenthood. Margaret was easy and quick to communicate with and always left my house clean and tidy. I feel so lucky to have had her help those two months and hope it won’t be the last time.
