Experience: 10 yrs
My experience with childcare began when I was 12-years-old & I became the neighborhood babysitter. I got my first "real job" when I was 16 & I started working at a local daycare. I was a nanny during my first year of college for a family of 3 young children. After that, in 2003, I discovered the world of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) & began working with young children with autism. I graduated college in 2007 & started the teaching credential program, but decided that I was more interested in ABA than I was in being a teacher. I stayed in the field of ABA while working up the ladder until March 2014. The last position I held was a behavior consultant overseeing in-home & school-based programs. I decided to leave the field when we relocated due to a job offer my husband received. I missed doing childcare, so I took the transition as an opportunity to get back in the game! From April 2014 through June 2015, I worked as a nanny/babysitter with 12 children across 6 different families & I enjoyed every minute. I pride myself on being able to strike the balance between being authoritative & being fun. I use behavioral techniques while providing care in order to manage behavior and provide reinforcement. We have recently relocated to the Vancouver area & I am available for part-time childcare from now until March 18, 2016 (I am currently pregnant with our first child & due at the beginning of April).

Margi has helped to bring some peace to our crazy over filled life. Margi has been helping to watch my girls (8 & 5) over the past six months. She is incredibly flexible and very reliable. What I love about Margi is she does not just "watch" my children. She engages with them on many levels and works to expose them to new things. My girls love their time with Margi and especially enjoy the field trips that they've experienced with her. Margi would be a welcomed loving addition to any family looking for some stability for their children and some sanity for the parents.
