A little bit about me

I’m a responsible and caring 21-year-old who has always loved spending time with kids. As the go-to person for my nieces and nephews, I’ve developed patience, creativity, and a natural ability to keep little ones happy and engaged. I’m currently studying architecture at Cal Poly SLO, which has taught me to be organized, dependable, and detail-oriented—qualities I bring into everything I do. Most importantly, I truly enjoy helping children learn, play, and grow in a safe and loving environment.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Megan Belarski, and I’m a 19-year-old student at Cuesta College. I have a passion for working with children and love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for them. Babysitting has always been something I truly enjoy, and I take pride in being responsible, caring, and dependable. While I’m unable to commit to a full-time position due to my school schedule and other responsibilities, I would love the opportunity to babysit or work as a part-time nanny whenever possible. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and great with kids, I’d be happy to help!
