Megan F.

Hello, my name is Megan Faherty and I am a 23 year old Kindergarten teacher living on the northwest side of Chicago. Last May, I graduated with a degree in Early Childhood Education and began my very first teaching job in August. I have three summers of full time nanny experience and have been working with children for much of my life. While I work full-time during the week in my classroom, I am hoping to take a trip to teach in Thailand this October and am looking for extra money to help fund my yearlong trip.

While my degree is in Early Childhood Education, I have a focus area in Visual Arts and implementing art into childcare and education. I love the arts and enjoy museums, parks, and nature outings. I’m always happy to take children on fun trips! Certainly my life often revolves around education, however I also love to have fun! I think that play, socialization, and being active are some of the most important aspects of childhood.

Working with children that have special needs is also something that I more than capable of handling. I have a younger brother who has a severe case of autism. Along with caring for him, I have also helped out with some of his classmates. As I have developed a love for these children and gained a great deal of patience, I am not only comfortable, but knowledgable when working with children with special rights.

Additional services: Meal preparation, Laundry, Light housekeeping, Swimming supervision, Crafts, and Potty training.
