A little bit about me

I’ve been babysitting children since I was 12 years old, and have experience with special needs children as a paraprofessional for K-2nd grade, babysitting as many as 5 children at once, caring for newborns, and sitting overnight. I love working with children - they are my absolute favorite people in the world, and I am grateful for parents trusting me with the responsibility of caring for their little ones.

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.
