I have several years of experience with children and infants of all ages, including multiples. My services include, if desired, pet care, light housekeeping and cleaning, meal preparation and assistance with bedtime / wake-up routines as well as general care and supervision. I like to take an active role in my care, engaging kids instead of sitting them in front of the TV all day. I have also worked extensively with children who have severe mental and physical, or multiple handicaps. Due to this I have retained some ASL, however I'd be happy to learn more! I'd like to believe that I am honest, kind, responsible and level-headed. I treat each child as an individual. I like to be creative and involved with my childcare, such as playing games, going outside for sports or a hike, reading, going to local parks and pools (with prior permission), arts and crafts (I am experienced with many mediums and techniques), etc. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to talk.

Meghan worked with me this past year as a Special Education paraprofessional. Meg has a really nice way with kids. As a Special Ed. teacher, I appreciated Meg's attention to detail, her follow-through with instructions while exercising good professional instinct/judgement and her ability to provide gentle developmentally-appropriate support for students while encouraging their independence. As a mom, I appreciated the way in which she was able to "read" a kid and take steps to help them make good choices and avoid situations where they might lose their cool. Meg has a strong maternal instinct, is kid-centered and has just the right balance of easygoing flexibility and structure/firmness when the situation requires. I highly recommend Meghan as your child's caregiver!
