A little bit about me

My name is Madi, I’m 20 years old and currently in my second year of college. I’ve only ever worked in childcare and have about 4 years of experience. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and truly love working with kids!

I’m open to nannying at your house or mine—whatever works best for your family. My mom used to run a home daycare, so I grew up around childcare. My house also has a pool, which can be great summer fun for older kids (with safety always coming first, of course!). 😊

A little bit about me

Hello! I am a recent college graduate with approximately 5 years of childcare experience in daycare and educational settings. Through working jobs where I was responsible for 10+ children ages 3-14 and providing informative activities for them, I am confident in my ability to connect and entertain your little one(s)! I am no stranger to playing pretend, creating crafts, rolling around in the grass, and truly participating with children in their activities. A balance of silliness and respect is important to me and is something that I bring with me to every childcare task. I am able to perform light housekeeping, errand running, and cooking. Through my personality, experience, and skills I am positive that I can provide a lively, empathetic, and safe space for your kiddos to grow.

A little bit about me

I’m 23 years of age with lots of love to give to babies and children! I’m from Alabama and have been in the state of Maryland since 2018. I love to be outside, as well as inside playing with toys and coloring. Growing up, I was always the family babysitter for my siblings, nephews and nieces, and cousins of all ages. Once my family realized how good I was with babies, especially newborns, they did not hesitate to leave their children with me, even at such a young age (around 10 years of age when it started). I love how children have the ability to love and care for someone no matter how different you are from them, as well as their way of viewing of the world.
