A little bit about us
My name is Megan and I have a beautiful daughter name Isla. She is almost 14 months. My husband and I are looking for someone to take very good care of her. I work at Marian hospital in the operating room. My schedule is Mon-Fri 0630am to 3:15pm. And my husband works in Santa Barbara he leave to work at 0600 and get home about 4:30 pm. At the moment we are looking for full time until we get her in to daycare which will maybe be in July or August. Isla is a bundle of joy and I’m not trying to jinx anything but she is very easy going. And we do have one dog his name is Ozzy he is very nice and loves to give kisses.
