About Megan

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi! I'm Megan. I have over 10 years of paid experience working with kids. I babysat all through high school and college. I was also a children's swim instructor/lifeguard for several years. After college, I worked as a counselor with children in foster care. I love to have fun with the kiddos I'm looking after, but I'm also responsible and great at setting boundaries. I'm a non smoker and have my own car. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Megan has watched our three children — ages 6, 4, and 2 — for the last year, and I recommend her without hesitation. She was reliable and punctual every single time, which mattered enormously with three kids on three different schedules. More than that, I trusted her completely: with our home, with our kids' safety, and with her judgment when something came up that I hadn't anticipated. What stood out most was how present she was. She didn't just supervise — she got down on the floor with our 2-year-old, helped our 4-year-old with an art project, and actually talked with our 6-year-old about her day. All three kids lit up when she arrived and asked for her by name. She was warm and patient, but she also knew how to hold a boundary when one of the kids tested her, which is harder to find than it sounds. Communication was consistent and clear — I always knew how the day had gone. Megan is exactly the kind of person you want caring for your children, and I'd hire her again in a heartbeat.
