A little bit about me

Hi! I'm a daycare worker with a big heart and a lot of energy! I absolutely love working with children — from singing silly songs and dancing around the room to sparking their imagination through storytelling and play. I'm patient, caring, and always ready to be a little goofy if it brings a smile to a child’s face. With experience in group settings and one-on-one care, I know how to keep kids safe, happy, and entertained. Whether it’s crafts, games, or helping with routines, I’m here to make your child’s day brighter (and give you peace of mind)!

A little bit about me

My name is Megan Compton, I am currently taking a semester off of school before I transfer to Colorado Mesa University in August. I have a little sister who was born with Down Syndrome so since the age of 6 I have been taking care of kids. Since then I have baby sat for a couple of her friends families so I am very comfortable around children of all needs and abilities. I am ABA certified and love working with kids! I don’t mind meal prepping at all but just so you know I am very allergic to Seafood so I can make meals of any type minus that! I am comfortable and have experience with infants as well as toddlers and older aged kids.
