A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Mads Smith, I’m 22 years young, and have quite the passion when it comes to creating trustworthy, and dependable relationships with kiddos, and their families! I have over 8 years of experience, working with children as young as 8 weeks old - to 10 years! However I’d have to say my favorite age group has been 0-4! Nannying has been one of the most rewarding, and fulfilling positions for me, and fortunately after years of wildly educating experience, I consider myself a professional career nanny.
With an interest in Montessori education practices, all things gentle parenting, and an incredibly open mind, I will work to help guide and uplift your child in all ways possible. My main goal is to curate safe, and dependable relationships so they can grow to be empowered, happy, self assured, kind hearted people.
As of now, I currently am working full time with a family until July when I will switch to part time. Then come September I be looking for full time work!

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I am a lifelong musician, and play a large array of instruments (including piano, ukulele, guitar, drums, guitalele, and my voice.) I love to share the magic of creating music, and art with children, as well as having constant dance parties to move and groove of course! Being outdoors is an every day necessity. Encouraging kiddos to explore, get their hands & feet dirty, move our bodies, and teach them intention when it comes to appreciating natures beauty.
Painting, drawing, any arts and crafts where we can indulge in our creativity, and explore our colorful imaginations is massively important.
As a lifelong extrovert, and passionate friend to all, I love to meet new people, and am always down to try new things. Helping children to build their own relationships, and develop strong identities is not only fulfilling, but exciting!
I have over 70 house plants, so naturally I love to garden, and teach kiddos how rewarding it can be to watch the things we tend to, flourish and grow!

My experience with special needs children...

I have spent a lot of time with neurodivergent children, including autistic children, and children with developmental delays over the course of my career. Being a mental health advocate, and struggling with some challenges myself, I really make an effort to make sure ALL children experience respect, bodily autonomy, positive affirmations, and loads of encouragement, while making them feel heard, seen, and loved. Some examples of how I’ve supported special needs children in the past, is: utilizing meditation and mindfulness techniques to help work through anxiety & frustration, administering medications, making “safe food” meal plans for those with food sensitivities/sensory issues, having fidget toys available at all times, accompanying children to their independent therapies, maintain stability in our routines, and showing up as a stable and consistent companion for them to depend on every day.
