Meghan L.

Meghan watched my baby from 3-6 months old. During that time he had some separation anxiety from me and she was patient in helping him adjust. She always took care of his physical needs in a timely manner and was great at playing and interacting with him as well. She made it easy to leave my baby so I could work. Very grateful and would use her again anytime I need childcare. - Brittany
