I've always loved working with kids and naturally connect with them. I'm currently a behavioral technician supporting children on the spectrum, and I love making a positive impact in their lives. Through this role, I've gained certified training in patience, attentiveness, and understanding children's behaviors - skills that carry over into babysitting every day. I'm also CPR and First Aid certified, a non-smoker, and have my own reliable transportation. I'd describe my personality as caring, patient, and reliable. I enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and feel supported, whether that's through encouragement, keeping routines, or just having fun together through baby sitting. Babysitting gives me the chance to do more of what I love - spending time with little ones and creating a positive, safe environment. With open weekends, I'd love to spend my extra time helping families and caring for little ones. If you'd like to connect, I'd be happy to set up a quick phone or Zoom call!
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Maddie. She has cared for both of our children, including one who is neurodivergent and requires additional support, and she handles everything with patience, confidence, and genuine care. Our kids absolutely adore her — they’re excited when she comes over and genuinely sad when it’s time for her to leave, which says everything. Maddie knows how to keep them engaged, regulated, and having fun, all while creating a calm and supportive environment. She truly understands how to meet each child where they are. What sets Maddie apart is how invested she is in our kids as individuals. She doesn’t just “watch” them — she connects with them, supports them, and helps them feel safe and understood. Our family is so thankful for the care, energy, and heart she brings every time she’s with our children. We would recommend Maddie without hesitation to any family looking for an exceptional babysitter.
