A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Madison, and I’m a dedicated and compassionate nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from LSU and am currently enrolled in an accelerated BSN program at ULL, working toward my nursing degree. My background in psychology gives me a deep understanding of child development, emotional regulation, and behavioral support, which I apply in my childcare approach.

I have extensive experience working with children with ASD and other developmental delays, having previously worked at an ABA therapy clinic. I strive to create a supportive, patient, and engaging environment tailored to each child’s unique needs.

Beyond childcare, I’m happy to help with errands, household chores, pet care, and light meal prep. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and structured space where children can thrive. I’d love the opportunity to work with your family! 😊

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love engaging children in age-appropriate, hands-on activities that encourage learning, creativity, and fun! For younger kids, I enjoy sensory play, storytime, and interactive games that help develop motor and social skills. With school-aged children, I incorporate arts and crafts, outdoor play, and educational activities that spark curiosity and imagination. I also love music, dance, and pretend play, which allow kids to express themselves in a fun and dynamic way. No matter the age group, I’m always actively involved, making sure activities are engaging, enriching, and tailored to each child’s interests and abilities!

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is building a trusting, loving, and supportive relationship with both the children and their families. It’s about creating a safe and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable to learn, grow, and express themselves. Every child is unique, and I believe in meeting them where they are, providing patience, encouragement, and individualized care. Beyond supervision, a great nanny fosters emotional well-being, creativity, and independence, while also serving as a reliable support system for parents. To me, being a nanny isn’t just a job—it’s a privilege to play a meaningful role in a child’s life and contribute to their development in a positive, lasting way.

My experience with special needs children...

I have extensive experience working with children with special needs, particularly those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other developmental delays. My background in psychology from LSU and hands-on experience at an ABA therapy clinic have given me valuable skills in behavioral interventions, communication strategies, and sensory-friendly activities. I understand the importance of patience, structure, and individualized care, and I strive to create a supportive and encouraging environment where every child can thrive. Whether it’s assisting with daily routines, practicing social skills, or engaging in tailored play-based learning, I am committed to providing compassionate, attentive care that meets each child's unique needs.
