About Margaret
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have two grown daughters. One is a teacher the other is an attorney. I complete my day at 3:30 and am available most nights and some weekends. I reside in the area of Chesapeake and would like to find a family in that area that may need some assistance with their children. The family I worked for part time for over 2 1/2 years moved to California. I am extremely nurturing with just the right touch of discipline. I can assist with homework, baths, cooking and some light housekeeping. I take kids to the playground, library and on weekends to the zoo and other seasonal activities such as Peach Picking, Halloween Fun, Arts and Crafts at home and even some work around their house. I am retired now and have more availability. I was previous employee and maintained a Secret Security Clearance. I have great references and I am extremely flexible with my schedule. Obviously I am trustworthy and have extremely high character and integrity.

Peggy is a great sitter! She babysits for our 2.5 yr old once a week so my husband and I can have a date night. Our son is very active and loves when Miss Peggy comes to play. She is great about keeping him occupied, whether it's feeding him dinner, playing catch the ball, reading books, building blocks, etc! She's calm and patient and her parenting values are very similar to ours which makes us feel very comfortable leaving our son with her. She's very flexible when we have changes in our schedule and we appreciate all the help she's provided us!
