A little bit about me

Hi I’m Madeline! I’m a 23 year old graduate of the University of Dayton. I was previously working in the service industry and have been hit hard by COVID like most of the service industry has! I’m the oldest of 4 and have been doing some form of child care nearly my whole life. Every summer out of college I was a full time nanny for families in La Grange where I’m from. I have experience helping children with homework, cooking meals, doing light housework, driving children to/from activities either in my car or one provided by the parents. I’m looking for a part time nannying position as I also work part time from home as the director of operations for a security company in Chicago which has also been hit pretty hard due to COVID. However, I will still considering full time positions. I look forward to hearing from you!

A little bit about me

Hello parents! I have worked many jobs with children including vacation bible school, special Olympics, swimming lessons, and babysitting for foster care children. I have many hobbies such as music, art, science, and sports. I would love to be able to share some of these interests with kids to encourage learning and equip them with positive outlets. Currently I work as a lifeguard but I have also worked in assisted living with adults with disabilities. I am very patient and understanding.
