About Margaret
Experience: 10 yrs
My name is Margaret and am a nanny and a postpartum day/night doula who has been taking care of kids for over 15 years, I've cared for kids of all ages - newborns/infants, toddlers and even older kids. I am both postpartum and breastfeeding trained and certified , I am also experienced in infants sleep training. . I am CPR certified, Trust line cleared, and I have reliable references. Taking care of kids has always been my passion. I am kind and nurturing, very patient and very calming. I believe in creating a good foundation for kids especially during their young, delicate ages, because this is the only time they are molded for who they will become in the future, kids will never divert from a strong, firm, well set beginning. I am gentle and loving while disciplining kids, I always allow kids to enjoy growing up as I patiently and lovingly guide them through the process. I take either daytime nanny positions and night time postpartum positions - charges differ.

Margaret was nanny for our son for four months (4mo - 8mo) (March - June 2022). As a first time parent, and both of us having full time jobs, we were in general a bit anxious and really wanted someone with whom we felt 100% comfortable to leave our son. Just spending couple of hours w/ Margaret, we both got extremely comfortable and felt Margaret to be part of our family. Margaret sang, played, read books, cooked food, and did so many activities throughout the day with our son. One of things that we absolutely loved was that she used to continuously speak with him. Our son used to wait for 9am, and as soon as Margaret used to enter home, his eyes used to brighten up. Margaret even got books and educational devices as a gift a couple of weeks after starting. one other big aspect that Margaret did was helping with sleeping training.
