A little bit about me

Hi my name is Madelyn! I have been babysitting professionally for 9 years and have had 2 previous nannying positions. I have up to date CPR/ First aid including infant safety. I Drive a family safe subaru SUV and am a very cautious driver with no previous tickets. I love incorporating educational play whenever possible. I think it's important to keep kids active by going on outings to parks, museums, libraries, ect. I have lots of experience with all ages from preemie's to teenagers. I have helped many families with weening, talking, walking, potty training, homework, and more! Currently I am looking for a position that will let me bring my 3 year old little sister Ellie. Caring for kids has always been a passion of mine. There are very few things as rewarding as seeing a child thrive because of your hard work. I am an empathetic, intelligent, and reliable caregiver. I'm the girl to call if you're looking for someone who will love and provide for your kids as if they were my own family

More About Me

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

3 years ago at the age of 18 I stepped up to be a parental figure for my little sister when our parents divorced. For the last 2 years I have been a stay at home sister while our mom works to support the household. In order to save money for our future and feel more financially comfortable I have decided to return to childcare. Currently I'm looking for a job that will let me bring Ellie along. Ellie is a kind and calm child. She has a secure attachment style and is relatively low maintenance. She gets along great with people of all ages. We are both excited by the opportunity to introduce new friends into our lives. I sincerely hope that you will consider me for your new nanny and look forward to hearing from you!

The most important part about being a nanny...

To help kids grow, learn, and thrive. Parents are trusting us to help raise their kids, to me that means caring for them as if they're your own. Doing everything possible to prepare them for success. I think it is imperative that parents and caretakers communicate parenting styles so that parents can rest easy knowing that everyone is on the same page. Keeping a consistent safe environment for kids.

My experience with special needs children...

I spent a year as a TA in the differently-abled classroom in 8th grade. I helped by tutoring peers, accompanying the class for outside time, assisting with difficult tasks(bathroom, hygiene, walking, eating, emotional regulation).

I was even chosen to accompany the class to the special olympics which was super fun!

At the same time I dedicated a separate class period to being a peer buddy. Which meant chaperoning 3 girls to and from choir. It was my job to help explain and tutor when necessary. As well as providing direction during concerts.

In highschool I volunteered in the pediatric ward at Marybridge hospital. I helped mainly in the playroom. While there I was lucky enough to play with all sorts of kiddo's.

I myself have been proffesionally diagnosed with ADHD. My symptoms are happily managed now but that wasn't always the case and I have first hand knowledge of how difficult it can be to struggle to keep up with peers.
