Gaithersburg Nanny Megan's References

“Megan will be a wonderful asset to your Nanny Agency in Gaithersburg! My students and I have greatly benefited from having Megan as a one on one aide in my classroom. I have come to know Megan as a creative, nurturing teacher who fosters self-esteem in her students. Our kindergarten program is an afternoon session of a few hours each day. The burden Megan has taken off of me is great. Before she was hired I spent quite a bit of time settling down her student and getting him back on task. Of course, this took away from the job of teaching the other 19 students in the class. Megan has worked cooperatively with staff, from developing and implementing interventions and strategies to strengthen her student's social skills and classroom behavior. She uses her warm personality, knowledge, research, and artistic creativity to motivate her student. During the time I have known and worked with Megan, she has shown her student the patience and consideration he needs in order to place his trust in her. His skills have greatly improved through Megan's support and guidance. This child is not an easy student with whom to work, but Megan arrives each day with a smile on her face and the confidence that "today" will be a good day! Megan communicates daily with her student's parents through a written log, detailing both the highs and lows of each afternoon. Her educational experience is quite vast. She is adventurous and has a thirst for knowledge. She is flexible and easily adapts lessons to her student's abilities. Megan is energetic and enthusiastic about helping students reach their learning potential. When you hire Megan your family will gain a nanny who inspires, challenges, and supports children in their pursuit in learning.”

“It is with great pleasure that I recommend Megan. She completed her student teaching in my fifth grade classroom in Rome. Although the student teaching experience is much shorter than the entire school year, Megan showed her exceptional ability by creating a positive community with the students within just a few days of introducing herself. Megan has a great deal of knowledge planning developmentally appropriate lesson plans, and she uses strategies for teaching which are interesting and engaging for her students. Megan's familiarity using standards to plan units and individual lessons allows her to continually focus on the objectives of her lessons. One of the qualities Megan possesses that impress me the most is her eagerness to teach and to learn, and her initiative and willingness to take positive risks in her teaching. She implemented a positive classroom management program that I will continue to use with my class after she completes her student teaching. She is quick to notice when she needs to modify lessons and is acutely aware when students are struggling. She's confident and maintains classroom control, yet has a balance of using humor and enjoying her students and creates an environment when they have fun learning. On more than one occasion, students have made positive comments about Megan's teaching. One student claimed he loved when she taught math. She made it so much fun! She was also able to engage her students in writing, and they were eager to take out their writing when she worked with them. By far the most impressive moment was when I observed Megan teaching the students to debate and prepare for persuasive writing. I observed students who had not previously been leaders in the classroom stepping up to guide their peers. They were truly collaborating in a way I had not previously seen in my classroom. She had students who were often quiet or disengaged speaking up and sharing their ideas, and even arguing their points and counter points within the class. Even English Language Learners were sharing their ideas on their own. She created a positive, supportive, and interactive environment were all students could excel. I believe Megan's talents and eagerness would be an asset to any school district or Nanny Agency in Gaithersburg, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to your family.”

“Megan student taught in my second grade classroom. She was involved in every aspect of classroom life and was an integral part of our positive classroom environment. She has a calm, positive manner, which the students respected and enjoyed. She was a team player from the first day in the classroom. I was impressed with her ability to self-start and understand what had to be done in the classroom. She was very enthusiastic and willing to take on any challenge. Megan had an appreciation of the developmental level of the students and showed great knowledge and expertise in planning and preparing age- appropriate lessons. The lessons were motivating for the students and well executed. She taught everything from whole class, to small groups, to individual remediation. I was especially impressed with her ability to ask good questions, encouraging higher level thinking. She also has a keen sense of observation and did well evaluating the students. Megan is a very organized, efficient person. She easily kept up with paperwork and administrative duties. She attended all before and after school meetings, and she even volunteered to help at "Family Math Night," where she came back to work at night on her own time. There is no doubt in my mind that Megan will make a wonderful teacher. She has everything it takes to be successful in this profession. It is obvious that she enjoys classroom life and has an understanding of child development. Her love of children, together with her enthusiasm, knowledge, and administrative know-how, make her an excellent candidate for any family. I would highly recommend her for a nanny position at your Nanny Agency in Gaithersburg.”

“It is my distinct pleasure to recommend to you Megan for nanny position through your Nanny Agency in Gaithersburg. I have observed her working with students here at school and was impressed every time with her poise and professionalism. As a student teacher, Megan’s planning and instruction were both creative and thoughtful. She collaborated very well with her teacher-mentor as well as with the other staff on her grade level. She was also quick to learn and implement techniques suggested to her in a constructive manner. Differentiation to meet all of her students' instructional levels was evident in her daily plan and implementation of her lessons. She has outstanding rapport with students and staff. For the last four months, she has been employed as a personal aide to a student with exceptional behavioral needs. Even during what could be categorized as some very challenging situations, Megan always keeps calm and goal-oriented. Her respect for the student and attentiveness to his needs is apparent during every moment she spends with him. Her communication with his parents is open, honest, and clear even when she is conveying difficult news. As outside professional services were brought in to assist her and the classroom teacher in learning strategies for supporting the student with his behavior, there was neither a lack of understanding nor lapse of time between when she learned the techniques and subsequently employed them. Megan has gone above and beyond in her responsibilities in her position here. Her enthusiasm has not waivered, even when dealing with the toughest behaviors. Even though she is only starting her career, the strong skill set she possesses is impressive and I would not hesitate to say that teaching must be a natural talent for her, one that will only strengthen with experience. It would behoove any family to welcome Megan to their family as she has a bright future as childcare provider.”

“Megan is my niece and the godmother to my 9 year old son. I also have an 8 month old girl. Megan is one of the kindest and most caring people I know. She has been this way for as long as I can remember. She is a woman of great conviction. She is an advocate for children. I say this with close personal knowledge, as my son has Asperger Syndrome, a form of autism. Megan is a champion for his cause. Asperger's is often misunderstood by people because my son looks like every 9 year old boy looks, but he has great difficulty with social interaction and has many learning disabilities. Megan works every day to help our family understand the nuances of his disabilities. When I am frustrated and feel that he is misunderstood Megan is right there to educate and advocate for him. We are forever grateful to her for that. Megan has been great resource to our family. She has done research on autism, auditory processing disorder, and sensory processing disorder. She has educated us and his teachers. She has provided us with contacts in the community and in the field of special education to ensure that my son is receiving all of help he requires. She spends time with us every week and my children adore her. My son works with Megan on things he will not attempt with anyone else. She is amazing with children! She knows when and how to get children to complete their tasks, but also knows when it is time to play and have some fun. I am impressed with her ability to make even fun time a learning experience. As I mentioned previously I also have an infant. she is 8 months old and is beginning to experience "stranger anxiety," she does not have this with Megan. My daughter happily goes into Megan's arms and will stay with her for hours. Megan is equally as wonderful with infants as she is with older children. She has been a true asset in our children's lives. I am thankful to have Megan as my niece, and I am privileged to have her be a part of my children’s lives. They love her and we love her very much. I believe she will be an excellent addition to your Nanny Agency in Gaithersburg, and that anyone who is lucky enough to have Megan as a nanny to their children will love her, too. It is with great honor that I recommend Megan as a nanny.”

“Megan and I have been friends since elementary school and I believe that she is a perfect representation of a mentor who exercises safety and friendship. She has an extensive history working with children. Though her experiences, she has refined her communication skills and is able to interact with children of all ages. I have witnessed Megan blossom into an incredible teacher. Throughout her student teaching rotations in college she was dedicated to helping her students. She went above and beyond by staying after hours to provide extra help and made herself available to her coordinating teacher without expecting anything tangible in return. It was clear that she received fulfillment knowing she was helping her students develop and follow their dreams. Megan had the opportunity to not only student teach in the United States, but also abroad in Italy. She tackled this unique challenge by incorporating the culture within her teaching plans to better identify with her students. This is one of the many times Megan exercised resourcefulness to balance distance from home while adapting to and initiating change among her students. She approached this experience with the skills of a quality leader. I often feel like I am one of Megan’s students. She teaches me how to self-reflect when dealing with adversity. Her ability to have poise and clarity in stressful situations is truly remarkable as well. Megan maintains accountability but is never quick to point the finger of blame with her friendly attitude and ability to get along with all types of people. Megan understands that safety comes first, especially when dealing with children. She loves to have fun but is cautious and aware of her surroundings making her a role model among her peers. All of these qualities support that Megan would make a wonderful nanny! Megan is a treasured friend and her passion for bettering herself and others supports that she will thrive in a nanny position. She is one of the greatest people I will ever know. It is my privilege to write this letter in hopes of Megan’s future childcare endeavors at the Nanny Agency in Gaithersburg.”
