Making a positive impact on children's lives is my passion! I've always enjoyed creating safe and nurturing environments where children feel comfortable learning and growing. I am patient, calm, friendly, goofy, and loving. I am very good at finding ways to connect and communicate with children of all ages. Forming very strong bonds with the children I watch. I can provide regular updates via text and offer verbal communication at the end of each day. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules. I have a strong love and passion for nature and the outdoors. Hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, swimming, etc. I would love to get your kids outside and moving their bodies. I also enjoy playing board games, doing arts and crafts, and doing puzzles with children. I am comfortable caring for up to two children, ages 0-11. I have tons of experience with infants and toddlers. I can assist with cooking, light housekeeping, and swimming supervision. I would love to discuss how I can help your family!
We were so lucky to have Maddie care for our two boys (when they were 3-7 years old) on and off so we could work, or have a nice night out. We had known Maddie for years before she started watching our boys, and already knew what a kind, grounded, and wonderful human being she is - so trusting her with our kids felt completely natural. She is warm, creative, and always brought such a calm and joyful energy into our home. She was great about communicating with us, often sending pictures and updates while we were away, which gave us such peace of mind. She made everything from playtime to bedtime easy and smooth - even getting our kids to bed on time, which is always a bit of a circus at our house! She was also flexible and dependable, which made scheduling so much easier. Our kids loved their time with her and still ask when she can come again. Highly recommend!
