About Margaret

Experience: 20 yrs

I have a deep love for working with children and bring years of experience caring for infants through middle school-age. I'm also a proud mom of two boys, ages 9 and 7. Currently, I care for 3 families each with two children which means, including my own, I often have up to eight kids at a time! Their moms often joke that I thrive in the chaos, and I have to agree. My background includes four years of nannying for twins, and five years with another wonderful family. I began nannying before having my own children and continued ever since. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Child Development and bring experience from many settings, including five years in a preschool environment as a supervisor, lead teacher, and assistant teacher. I started babysitting at 10 years old and have always felt called to work with children and families. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching my boys play soccer, reading and crafting. I'd be happy to provide references upon request.

Margaret is wonderful! She cared for our 3.5 year old daughter. She brought her two sons and they had a wonderful day. She was attentive to all the children. She is relaxed and thorough. We appreciated her flexibility and absolute love of children. We would love to hire her again!
