Hi, I'm Megan. I'm 18, live in Naperville IL, and will be home over the summer from college. The past 7 years I've been volunteering and teaching in the Sunday school for infants-toddlers at The Compass Church nearly every Sunday. I also do babysitting for neighbors when needed, as before I had a busier schedule, this summer I am able to be much more consistent with one family. I'm certified in CPR, BLS, first aid, and overall everything within life-guarding certification, and I am willing to get other certifications if need be. I have been learning/using both Spanish & German the past 8 years. I will only be available now through early August. Let me know if you want any other info. Thanks for your time :)
