A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Madi, I am a first year college student looking for families who need a part-time babysitter! I have been working with children for 3+ years now. I was a camp counselor at a summer camp in my hometown where I supervised and interacted with kids for 7 hours a day. Working with children is extremely rewarding for me, it makes my day to put a smile on their face or hear them giggle. I am very patient with children and do have some experience working with children with cognitive impairments. I also used to teach dance classes for children 5-13 years old. I love to share my love for creativity & dance with children by making crafts, playing games etc;.

A little bit about me

I have over ten years of childcare experience with three years in an outdoor education setting. My diverse background nannying to early childhood education has helped me develop the tools to create a nurturing, safe, and enriching environment for children. I believe in meeting each child where they are at, both emotionally and cognitively, and am able to adapt my approach to each child's unique needs.

I am a strong advocate for outdoor and play based learning environments where children can connect with the world around them through hands-on experiences. This translates between my teaching and nanny practices.
