Hi! I'm Madelyn Chung, and I'm turning 19 next week. I've been babysitting since I was 14 and have cared for children of all ages, from infants to middle schoolers. Over the years, I've babysat for 10+ families, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and family needs. One family trusted me as their regular babysitter for over two years before I left for college. During that time, I cared for their children after school, on weekends, and even stayed overnight while the parents traveled out of state. I helped with potty training, changed diapers, prepared meals and snacks, assisted with bedtime routines, played games, read stories, helped with homework, and always made sure the kids were safe, happy, and engaged. I'm also happy to help with housekeeping, including cleaning up after meals and activities, washing dishes, tidying play areas, and keeping the house organized. I'm comfortable caring for pets as well and have experience feeding, walking, and looking after them while babysitting. As the middle child with an older sister and a younger brother, I've always enjoyed being around kids and always dreamt of having my own in the future! Families describe me as dependable, patient, responsible, and caring. I take pride in creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident knowing they're in good hands. I look forward to meeting your family and providing reliable, attentive care for your little ones!
