Hello all. :) I provided care to residents at the DeKalb County Nursing Home for 3. 5 years, by serving meals and doing heavy cleaning. I was born into a large family, of whom I have helped care for my entire life. Growing up with firm parents, I am well-disciplined, orderly, kind, and caring. I am also a junior at NIU, pursuing an elementary teaching degree, as I love children. I recently graduated from Kishwaukee Community College and earned my associate in science in May of 2023. I have 2 years of babysitting experience outside of my own family - a family of 4 children aged 8, 10 (twins), & 11 during summer 2022, and a 2-year-old from August 2022 - December 2023. I have also worked at a daycare for ages 1-10 for 1 year now. I feel as though I am a good fit given my prior living experiences and growing up with children. I am a very creative person as well, and love to do little crafts and things with kids, opting for games and activities instead of TV. Thank you :)

Megan provided childcare 1-3 days a week for my double gifted child (18 months old to 3 years old) for nearly 2 years. Megan assisted with household tasks such as folding my child’s laundry and washing her dishes. She was adaptive with scheduling. She utilized creativity and spontaneity in addition to planned reading, learning, or play activities. Megan provided a positive influence in my child’s life. She is reliable, efficient, and communicates concerns. I would highly recommend Megan for your childcare needs!
