Hi! I'm Meg--an educator, artist, trained doula, and mama to an energetic toddler. I've been caring for children for over 20 years, from newborns through high school. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, seen, and free to explore through play, creativity, and connection. Whether I'm soothing a newborn, supporting a postpartum family, reading stories, creating art, or heading outside for an adventure, I strive to create a calm, nurturing environment where children can grow with confidence. I'm patient, dependable, CPR-trained, and understand the trust it takes to care for someone else's child. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, making music, reading, and exploring parks and museums with my daughter. I care for every child the way I hope someone would care for my own--with warmth, respect, and genuine love.
Meaghan consistently shows herself to hold remarkable integrity, reliability, and compassion. Her steady presence in her caregiver roles speaks volumes about her character and her unwavering commitment to the well-being of those around her. Her sensitivity to those around her, combined with her high ethical standards, makes her someone who is not only trustworthy but deeply respected. In her work as a nanny, I had the unique opportunity to witness Meaghan in action. She has provided care for numerous families, and in each case, brought warmth, attentiveness, and a strong sense of structure. She didn't just "watch" children - she engaged them, invested in their development, and formed meaningful bonds. Many of those families continue to stay in touch with her today, which is a true testament to the impact she made in their lives. Meaghan prioritizes creating a space where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to grow. She is present, consistent, and deliberate in cultivating and providing a sense of belonging. I give her a 5 out of 5 and highly recommend!
