A little bit about me

I grew up in Traverse City, Michigan, and am the youngest of six. I have always loved kids, and enjoy watching my little nieces, nephew and cousins. I have had numerous babysitting and nannying jobs, all of which have been so enjoyable, being able to interact with little kids and watch their minds grow. I love going to the beach, doing crafts, and watching Disney movies. I attended Kendall College of Art and Design after graduating from TCW in 2021, took some time to travel alone, and am now back in TC! Teaching kids how to be independent and trust themselves is my favorite part of being a caretaker.

More About Me

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

I have been a babysitter for kids from ages 1-15 for over 6 years!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Movies, crafts (I love teaching the kids how to use what's around the house to make something new! We've used massive boxes during a family's move for a lemonade stand, and broken measuring cups to have tea parties), going to do cheap things around town/walkable places from their house (I love dogs so I try to make it a point to walk their pets with them!), dance parties, hiking (also dogs are welcome in my truck if need be!), swimming (I am comfortable watching kids in the water! I nannied four kids on Silver Lake for three summers), forts!!, cooking/baking, homemade fun!

The most important part about being a nanny...

is making the kids feel comfortable with me in their space! Having grown up with so many older siblings, I can't relate to a new stranger ever being in charge of me, therefore ever having to trust a stranger to watch over me. I like to make it super known with the kids that I enjoy being there and appreciate my time with them.

My experience with special needs children...

I nannied a 7 year old girl with autism a few years ago along with her little sister. It taught me so much and I really enjoyed that gig unlike any other I'd had. I am confident in myself being very patient and empathetic, especially with feelings and expression.

Madison  H. - Seeking Work in Traverse City

Part-Time Nanny Available in Traverse City, MI: Madison H.

Childcare has always been a passion on mine, I have a special place in my heart for infants and toddlers.
When I was 11 years old I started as a 3 night a week babysitter for a 2 and 6-year-old. I continued to babysit and nanny in the summertime for many families over the years until I graduated from high school. From there I worked in daycare for a little over 2 years, the second year I also was an after school nanny for the family that owned the Primrose I was working at.
For the last 3 years I was a nanny for an amazing family, helping to rise their 2 kids and seeing them through many milestones and fun, wonderful trips to Disney world! Unfortunately children grow up and the time has come that I start looking for new littles to love.
I have many personal and professional references and recommendations as well driving history as well as background checks to offer (available on care.com)!
