*Not available to sit for sick (contagious) children* Having been on UrbanSitter close to its inception in 2014, I have over 25 years experience in childcare. I’ve worked with infants to 15-year-olds, and earned my certificate for early childhood development with the University of Oklahoma. I have worked in a nursery, as a teacher's assistant in an after school care program, as a nanny and mother’s helper. For over four years I was contracted by a sitting agency in Oklahoma and Dallas and was chosen twice as Sitter of the Month based on requests and family feedback. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I am attentive to routines and guidelines while also connecting to kids with silly playtime. I am also very artsy and love to create things with kids, sing and make up stories and characters. Several families ask me back multiple times, and I look forward to meeting yours!

I’m a mom first. I know how I would want someone to treat my child. I also used to be a kindergarten and first grade teacher. I love children and I love being able to impact their life in a positive manner. I really love reading and playing games with children.

“She was on time and was great with the boys! I would definitely rebook her in the future. ”

Hi families! I am a 28 year-old college graduate living in Plano. My mom was 1 of 20 children, so I have a lot of little cousins who I grew up around and helped care for. I have 13 years of paid babysitting experience. I've after-school nannied for two families with 8 and 5 year-old girls. I have experience with all ages of children, including: infants, toddlers, twins, multiples and special needs (ADHD and Down Syndrome). I'm comfortable changing diapers, bottle-feeding, rocking children to sleep, etc. I have a calm, patient and easy-going personality with a good sense of humor that allows me to connect well with kids. I enjoy meeting new families and would love to hear from you if I seem like a good fit!

“Megan was great with our two boys and two young dogs. She managed bedtimes, meals, crating dogs, and communicated throughout the evening. She was prompt, professional and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!!”
