A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Madeline! I recently graduated from Cal Lutheran with my bachelor’s in Sociology and a minor in Political Science. I’m 23 years old and currently work at the Academy of Advancement of Children with Autism as a substitute teacher. I’ve been working with youth for over 10 years—nannying for triplets for 6 years, supporting foster youth, and working with individuals with special needs. I have such a passion for working with kids and hope to continue making a positive impact in their lives.

When I’m not working, I love going to the beach, reading, grabbing froyo with friends, spending time in the garden, or baking something!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have over eight years of experience working with kids, including nannying for a family with triplets. I helped with everything from meals and homework to school pickups, activities, and bedtime routines. I also stayed with them for up to a week at a time while their parents were out of town, so I'm very comfortable caring for multiple kids on my own!

I currently work at a school for children with autism, where I started as a paraprofessional and eventually became a substitute teacher. This has given me experience working with kids of different ages, personalities, and abilities.

I also played competitive water polo from ages 10 to 21, including in college, so I've spent a huge part of my life in the water! I'm a strong swimmer and love taking kids swimming, to the beach, or on outdoor adventures. I've always loved working with kids and getting to watch them grow up!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love getting kids out of the house and doing fun activities! Some of my favorites are beach days, swimming, going to the park, baking, arts and crafts, reading, and exploring new places. I also enjoy finding little adventures around town, whether that's a trip to the library, a picnic, or trying something new together. I grew up spending a lot of time outdoors and love sharing that with kids! I'm also always happy to have a slower day at home with games, crafts, or a movie. I really enjoy getting to know what each child likes and planning activities around their interests!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I think the most important part of being a nanny is building trust with both the kids and their parents. I want the kids to feel comfortable around me and know they can come to me for anything, while their parents feel confident knowing they're in good hands. I also think it's important to have fun with the kids, be patient with them, and really get to know their personalities. At the end of the day, I want to be someone the whole family can count on!

My experience with special needs children...

I currently work at a school for children and young adults with autism, ages 7–21. I started as a paraprofessional, became a team lead, and eventually moved into a substitute teaching role. I've worked closely with students who have a wide range of needs, including those who are nonverbal, use AAC devices to communicate, or need additional behavioral and daily living support. My experience includes one-on-one care, helping with communication, personal care, academics, social skills, and everyday routines. I've also received training in behavior management, safety interventions, and supporting students with more intensive needs. Working with these kids has been such a meaningful experience, and I've learned how important it is to be patient, flexible, and really get to know each child as an individual!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Some of my favorite nanny memories are having little girls' days with the triplets, doing our hair, makeup, and nails together. I started babysitting them when they were just four years old, and now they're freshmen in high school! I feel like we really grew up together in a way, and it's been so special watching them develop their own personalities and interests over the years. We still have such a great relationship, and I love that even though they're older now, we've stayed close. Those little moments together will always be some of my favorite memories!
