Booked by 40 families in Mc Kinney, TX

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!!”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
