I’m a nurturing, patient, and dependable caregiver with 20+ years of experience working with children and families. My background in education and psychology helps me understand children’s developmental needs, build trust, and create safe, engaging environments. I’m attentive, organized, compassionate, and comfortable caring for infants through school-age children. I enjoy reading, singing, creative play, learning activities, and helping children feel loved, secure, and confident.

Margaret $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Margo. I come from a large family and have been surrounded by children my entire life. I was raised helping care for my younger sibling and cousins, and I am now a very involved aunt to 14 nieces and nephews whom I am extremely close to. Caring for children has always been a natural and joyful part of my life. I have experience babysitting infants through 10-year-olds, including children with special needs, who I have a particular heart for. I am warm, fun, personable, and highly adaptable. I do well with different family dynamics and parenting styles, and I strive to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I love cooking, baking, and am able to drive kids around, house or pet sit. I take my role as a caretaker seriously and truly enjoy building meaningful, trusting relationships with both children and parents.
