I never get tired of creating meaningful experiences and memories with the children I work with.Families often describe me as nurturing, patient, trustworthy, and attentive. I care for children as if they were my own and pride myself on being someone both parents and children feel comfortable with.

Hi! I'm Madison (23), a recent graduate with a B. A. in English and Education in Ames.I've been working with children my entire life! It started as caring for my four sisters who are 10+ years younger than me, then becoming a paid babysitter at age 13, and now being a summer nanny the last 4 years. I do have a resume!I'd describe myself as creative, thoughtful, sincere, and organized. I often create a summer bucket list with the kids and use that to create a tentative activity calendar so we are all on the same page! I love learning-based fun - going to the library, park, and pool, and cooking, baking, and crafting with them! Ultimately, I love to do things that bring the kids joy!I would be honored to be your caregiver!
