About Margaret

Experience: 3 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I am a PhD graduate student in the biomedical sciences. I am the oldest of 9 siblings and have a lot of experience in childcare with a passion for fostering children's growth and development. My experiences in middle school science classrooms and previous babysitting has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your child. I believe in open communication with parents and follow their preferred method, whether it be via text or phone call, to ensure they are regularly updated about their child's day. I am comfortable enforcing household rules as guided by the parents and enjoy playing a variety of games with children, from educational games that promote learning to fun outdoor sports and physical games. I am confident in my ability to care for your child and provide a supportive and reliable childcare option for your family.

Margaret is truly one of the best out there! My golden is my baby, and she takes great care of him. One weekend I had him in the kennel, because I thought it would be a fun change of pace. My dog got attacked and required surgery. I called Margaret as I was out of town and she was at the vet within 30 min, and took the best care of him for the day before I could get home. She’s been consistent, reliable, and my dog has the best time.
