Hallie $22 per hour for 1 child

I have ten years of experience working as a childcare provider and educator. I have worked as a preschool teacher at a montessori school, full time nanny, special needs caretaker, dance teacher, personal assistant, dog sitter, camp counselor, and tutor. I have experience working with infants through adults. My approach as a nanny is to nurture each child’s personal development, foster creativity and learning, and most importantly to ensure health and safety. I genuinely love working with children and I do my best to meet each family’s individual needs.

Being around animals brings me joy, and having the opportunity to take care of your dog, cat or other pet is something that I truly love. I'll take care of your fur baby as if it's my own, and I'll do everything possible to make sure that their time with me is super enjoyable! I'm experienced with both puppies, kittens and senior cats and dogs. I've given pets their insulin injection, and I'm able to give even the most stubborn pet their oral medication. In my spare time I enjoy biking, swimming and strength training.

Hi! My name is Meg and I am an artist living in the Mount Airy area. I just graduated from the University of the Arts with a concentration in Printmaking and Textiles. I am here to offer childcare, pet care, and house care services. I have a lot of experience working with and taking care of children, including toddlers and infants. I have been babysitting since I was 15, but I am also an older sister, and an older cousin to some amazing kids! I am ALSO an art teacher to kids ages 7-12 years old! I love teaching kids about art, letting their mind explore and seeing their creations. It is so interesting and special! I have been a trusted dog walker and house sitter for the last 3 or so years as well. I love animals and am comfortable around dogs, cats, and other pets! Here is a list of some smaller but important things I have done and feel comfortable doing so! -driving the kiddos to and from school or to activities -making snacks/ cooking/ preparing meals -arts and crafts/ games! -homework help -bedtime/ bath time routines -walks/ playground trips! -housekeeping (laundry, cleaning, running errands, plant/ garden care) -over nights Hope to be in touch! :)
