Description

Hi, I’m Meg! I’m a full-time, professional nanny working Monday – Friday with an infant in the LA area. I have eighteen years experience with children of all ages, three years experience teaching infants, toddlers, and preschool, and four years experience nannying. Please contact me for references, certificates, or any other information!

I’ve nannied, taught, and babysat children six weeks – thirteen years. I have experience with multiples (twins + a singleton), special needs children, children with mental illnesses, learning disabilities, and many children at once. When I taught, the ratio for babies was 1:3, for twos, 1:6, for fours, 1:10, for school age children, 1:15. I am CPR and first aid certified, I have my 90-hour preschool certification and my 45-hour infant and toddler certification. I have numerous teaching certificates that I earned in the three wonderful, valuable years I spent teaching. I have three years experience with special needschildren/children with learning disabilities, mostly in a preschool setting, so individually and in a classroom. It is my passion to work with children with special needs, so I’m going into music therapy in that area. I am kind, empathetic, creative, and patient. I love implementing what I learned from teaching into my nannying, such as learning through play, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, sensory materials, and unique ways of learning. I am a hard worker, a very quick learner, and extremely versatile. I have worked with families who did not have the same views as I did and we got along very well. I, however, am looking to work with and join a family that does view life the way I do, positively, in a warm way, and lovingly. I am comfortable with all kinds of housework, all kinds of animals, cooking for the child(ren) and their families, travel, homework help for all ages (if I don’t understand something, I’ll make sure I learn it before I help the child!), taking the child(ren) on little or big trips, getting children ready for activities- I have a way of keeping children focused and on task and am okay with any kind of “chaos” that ensues. I will work with whatever your family needs. I am very flexible and will go out of my way to make your child(ren) and family happy.
