Booked by 45 families in Manassas, VA

Hi! My name is Megan and I’m 28 years old. I graduated from the University of Maryland in 2019. I live in Manassas, VA. I’ve enjoyed babysitting kids of all ages since I was 13. I work full time during the week, and I’m looking to make some extra spending money on weekends and weeknights. In my free time, I like to run, cook and read. I have my own car and I’m willing to travel into DC and to nearby suburbs in MD and VA. I look forward to meeting you!

Megan was great with 4 children (6,4,3 & 2) to allow another couple and my husband & I to go out the evening/night of Valentine’s Day. We had a wonderful time and Megan made that possible. She was responsive, kind and funny and my daughter who was crying moments before we left (about us leaving) seemed to forget her sadness within 5 minutes of Megan showing up. She even got all 4 toddlers down successfully and they were sound asleep when we got home, miraculous! We’d love to have her watch our children again.

Hello Parents, I am 36yrs with 10+ years experience with children/pets. I have been working with kids since I was 14 years old and it is a huge passion of mine. I am looking forward to jumping back in for a while. I am a firm believer in routine, consistency, and creating an environment to thrive and learn. I know some American ASL, and I have a Montessori approach to the way I go about working with kids. I mainly prefer to work with infants and toddlers, but I have experience in all age ranges. I am comfortable with all traditional nanny duties, transporting children, house management/organization, elderly assistance, and pet sitting. I also have experience with special needs children including high anxiety, speech delay, autism and ADHD needs.

I have more than 10 years of childcare experience. I’ve worked with children from infant years to school age years. I’m a mother of 2 beautiful girls (ages 6 and 7). I also have experience with special needs children. I’ve been an RBT since 2020 providing ABA therapy to children with autism spectrum. I completed my masters in special education from George Mason University in 2024. My passion for education and working with children with or without disabilities began as a child when I required the extra help from teachers as a special education student. Now this is my time to give back and help guide and teach children. I enjoy being outdoors, playing sports, playing pretend with Barbies or action figures, getting messy with art projects, or simply enjoying a relaxing moment watching a movie!
