My name is Megan Butler and I am a recent graduate from The University of Dayton. I got my bachelors degree in Communications Management with a minor in Anthropology. I am taking a gap year before I start working in the corporate world. I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, so I am familiar with both the suburbs and city. Right now I am looking for a part time nannying job. I have experience working with kids ages 3 months-14 years old.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Nina, I am a college student studying Early Childhood Education, and I have been working as a freelance child caretaker and nanny for 8 years. I have always loved working with kids. I was often been put in the role of taking care of my younger cousins, and it came very naturally to me. Soon, I began babysitting for neighbors and family. I have also worked as a swim teacher/lifeguard/front desk supervisor at a swim school and as a student assistant at an Elementary School for a college class. I am responsible and alert, CPR and First Aid certified. I think working with and guiding kids as they grow is so important, and I am passionate about doing just that. I want to set a good example and be a positive role model at all times. I have extensive experience in tutoring, cooking, cleaning, and I always make sure the kids I care for feel comfortable and happy at all times. I speak multiple languages, as well. Feel free to reach out to me for more information!
