About Megan

Experience: 10 yrs

My name is Megan. I have my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, as well as my state teaching license. After some self reflection, I've realized I enjoy the one-on-one connection I get with children through nannying more so than the classroom setting. My nannying philosophy draws from RIE, Montessori, & respectful parenting (I have a preschooler of my own). I've primarily worked with infants & toddlers throughout my decade+ long career. I am continually amazed by their curiosity, compassion, intelligence, & energetic awareness! I'm a big believer in natural/unassisted motor development, teaching consent early, giving children space to figure things out on their own, and holding supportive emotional containers for big emotions. Getting outside/going on daily adventures is crucial to me as well (no bad weather, only bad clothes). I treat children with respect, honor their innate wisdom, & do my own internal work so that I can be the most compassionate & loving caregiver possible.

I actually connected with Megan through a friend who had previously hired her. I was venting to her about potty training my 4-year-old son. She mentioned that Megan helped with her daughter’s potty training and was a godsend. I reached out to Megan and despite being on the other side of the country from us, she offered to consult with us virtually. After lots of conversations, she was able to pinpoint exactly why our son was resisting the potty. She offered simple and realistic strategies that actually worked. She introduced sensory-friendly routines (like using visual schedules, a personalized “potty story”, and body awareness activities) that helped our son feel more in control and less overwhelmed by the process. She also coached US as parents through meltdowns and minor regressions. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and unsure with where to start when it comes to helping your child through something tough (especially a neurodivergent or sensory sensitive kid), Megan is a true lifeline. Thoughtful, empathetic, and incredibly practical.
