Hi! My names Morgan and I’m a 24-year-old caregiver with a genuine passion for working with children.

I currently work as an assistant teacher at an academy school with children ages 18–24 months, but I have experience caring for children of all ages. I’m comfortable with infants, toddlers, and older children, and I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, caring, reliable, and very attentive. I’m comfortable helping with meals, diaper changes, nap and bedtime routines, activities, homework, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. I am CPR/First Aid certified I truly love working with kids and would love the opportunity to be a trusted caregiver for your family!
“She is amazing! Attentive, caring, invested, knowledgeable, flexible, patient, and my kid absolutely loves her. She is like my kids second mom/aunt. She is closer to my kid than any other family member. We appreciate all the love the attention and the teaching she does for my child as well. My child calls for her. It’s bedtime. That’s just how much of an extension of the family she is.”
