A little bit about me
My name is Madysen, and I have over five years of professional nannying and house management experience, along with nine years of babysitting and childcare experience. I have truly loved being able to leverage my skills to support children’s growth while also making daily life easier and more manageable for families.
As a nanny, I deeply value consistency, engagement, and clear communication. I strive to provide a steady, encouraging presence and take pride in being a positive cheerleader for the children in my care. Building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents is something I consider essential to my work.
Safety is always my number one priority. I am CPR and First Aid certified, trained in water safety, and hold additional certifications through local nanny training resources. I approach every role with professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care.

"Aileen was my student in my most recent ESL class at Spokane Community College. She has shown a solid work ethic in her course assignments and attendance. She attended classes while seeking employment and working, without missing important assignments and test dates. She is a thoughtful and considerate person who helped her fellow students as needed. My impression of Aileen is that she is an attentive and caring person that takes her responsibilities seriously.
Kind regards,
Christopher Knott"

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Jo! I've been working in early childhood education for 11 years now. My experience includes working in childcare centers, teaching preschoolers, working one on one with children with disabilities, and nannying. I have extra experience with infants, toddlers, and multiples. I am also a postpartum doula and newborn care specialist.
I am on the sections committee for PPSMN and State of MN's Doula-Hospital Training Workshop Group of Experts.
In my free time, I do a lot of reading and writing, obsessing over my newest favorite musician, painting, and spending time with my partner and friends. I am also an active advocate for the LGBTQ+ and disability communities.
I see the family as a unit that I'm working with when I'm providing child or infant care. Being a caregiver means being part of a family, with strong communication, friendliness and vulnerability. I am truly blessed to be in a position where I can be a vital support person in the lives of growing families.

"I cannot say enough great things about Jo as our nanny. Not only is she reliable, but she shows up with a smile and is full of energy. She’s very thoughtful about treating your child exactly how you would want them cared for. She also has had wonderful suggestions and ideas of activities to do with our baby in order to help her grow and develop.
In having our very first child, a baby girl, choosing someone to care for her was a very nerve wracking experience. My husband and I feel so incredibly fortunate to have connected with Jo and look forward to continuing to work with her in the future."

"My kids loved Grace. She somehow got them to do their school work (during the pandemic online schooling days, when they were in second and fourth grade) without having to yell at them. She made cupcakes with them and played in the back yard and did art and took them to parks when they were done with their work. They had a great time and looked forward to her coming over. They let me work from home without interruption, because they were so engaged with her. I thought it was a miracle. Strongly recommend hiring her. She was unfailingly kind and pleasant and helpful."
