Madison W. - Seeking Work in Rochester

Nanny Madison

Rochester, NY

Full-time
< 1 year experience

A little bit about me

Hey there! My name is Madison, and I think I would be a great Nanny for your child. While I don't have any previous experience nanny-ing, I do have four years experience as a respite care giver for a family with a nonverbal autistic boy. I also grew up around special needs, so I am very patient and willing to work with any child.

My availability is Monday-Saturday from 9 am to 6pm, though my hours can definitely be negotiated. Sundays I need off. I am not fluent in any other languages as of now, but I am teaching myself both French and Portuguese, and would be willing to learn a third language if you wanted.

Currently, I live in Louisiana. I am moving up to Rochester in the very near future, and am excited to start discussing the possibility of working with your kids!
