A little bit about me

My name is Madison DuBose, and I am a Family and Consumer Sciences major, graduating July 2026. I have experience working closely with children through both personal and caregiving roles. I have helped care for and raise two young boys, including one who was born premature, which has given me patience, responsibility, and strong attention to detail when it comes to children’s needs.

I genuinely enjoy working with kids and take pride in creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment for them. My background has helped me develop strong caregiving skills, and I am very comfortable handling both daily routines and unexpected situations. I’m reliable, caring, and passionate about helping children grow and thrive.

A little bit about me

I am a sophomore at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. I have a very open schedule, and am open to working early mornings and late nights. I am the oldest child of three. I grew up constantly babysitting my siblings, then was actually hired to babysit for the first time when I was about 14, and have been working ever since. I coached youth tennis while I was in high school, babysat for multiple families, and worked with a first grade class while shadowing a teacher for a semester. I love working with kids, and cant wait to start working again in Columbia!
