Hello! I have approximately 12 years of hands on experience working with children, starting with neighborhood babysitting when I was very young. I am a 29-year-old woman who graduated with my Master's Degree in Occupational Science and Therapy in 2021. I also have a Bachelor's Degree in psychology with a minor in anthropology. I am currently a nationally licensed and certified occupational therapist who started my career in pediatrics living in Colorado. Throughout both of my college degrees (especially graduate school) I have learned so much about child development and care. I am currently working as a full time OT helping treat adults recovering from traumatic brain injuries. I love this job, but really miss working with kids. I would love to find an opportunity to provide child care for a family once or twice a week in the evening for a few hours. Please reach out if you are interested in connecting with me.
Megan is my daughter. She started babysitting (also house and pet sitting) at a young age. Megan demonstrated initiative and high responsibility when caring for children and they loved her. She had numerous repeat clients just through word of mouth from her happy customers. She seeks out opportunities to be in a setting where she is caring for people and excels at it.
