Hi, I'm Meg! I am an experienced childcare provider/former early childhood education specialist (infants, toddlers, and early preschool). I freelance/WFH in analytics & research now and am so grateful to occasionally babysit to support the community/have fun. My rate has flexibility, as does my schedule with notice, so please feel free to message me if you need support. I have 20+ years of experience with children 6 weeks to 13 years of age in a wide variety of settings, including private/public schools, individualized private teaching within children's homes, camps, music lessons, and nannying. I have a bachelors degree in applied psychology with a focus in child advocacy, and numerous early childhood teaching certifications. I am kind, empathetic, creative, and infinitely patient. I love implementing what I learned from teaching into my babysitting, such as embodied learning/emergent curriculum, learning through play, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and sensory materials.
When I think back to that wild season of parenting during the pandemic, one of the best things that happened for our family was Megan. She created this incredibly thoughtful and creative preschool experience for our kids at a time when everything else felt upside down. Most of the learning happened outdoors, which was honestly perfect. She focused on play, storytelling, and social-emotional growth in a way that felt really grounded and developmentally right. My kids always felt seen and supported by her, especially when they were struggling emotionally, which happened a lot back then. Megan held space for them with so much kindness and patience. She’s just one of those people who brings a calm, warm energy into the room. My kids were really connected to her, and even now, years later, they still bring up the stories she told and the things they learned from her. That kind of lasting impression speaks volumes. Megan is creative, intentional, and just a really lovely human. We were lucky to have her.
