A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Meghan! I am a 17 year old high school student. (I attend a virtual school with no live classes so it will not interfere with my capability to work) I have 4+ years of experience working with children and babysitting. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, as well as a childcare and babysitting certificate. I absolutely love working with children and being caregiver. I love doing arts and crafts, playing the violin, cooking, reading, and a lot more! I would be more than happy to also assist in housekeeping and meal prep in addition to taking care and looking after your child!

A little bit about me

Little bit about myself is I have a younger sister that I practically raised by myself while managing to graduate from high school. I started to babysit when I became of age to do so. I've always loved being around kids, however I can't have any of my own 😔. I took child development classes, and have about 10+years of babysitting experience. I am confident in providing routines, cooking, organizing activities, helping with homework, bath time and bedtime. Along with house work such as doing the dishes, sweeping, mopping etc. Whatever is needed or would help make your life a little better for you

A little bit about me

I'm a business student at the College of Charleston and I'm back in Charleston for my Junior year. In the past I have babysat and nannied for families with multiple children (the most being 6!) and I truly miss the positive energy and variation in day-to-day work. As I'm back for Junior year I would love to work as a nanny for a couple days a week. I have a car and know how busy the week can be so I would love to help out as a nanny/mother's helper wherever I can help out!
