About Madeline

name is Madeline, and I'm a future teacher currently completing my student teaching this fall. I've worked with children of various ages both in the classroom and as a nanny, including kids ages 4-11. I worked as a babysitter for a 4-year-old foster child, where I create engaging, developmentally appropriate activities, manage behavior with patience and care, and communicate with caregivers and social workers. I also have experience working in ministry with kids and value creating a safe, fun, and loving environment where children feel seen and supported. I'd love to bring that same energy to your family! Also, I have 200 hours of in-classroom teaching experience. My teaching philosophy centers around the idea that kids thrive when they feel loved, safe, and engaged. I aim to create a calm but fun environment where every child feels heard and supported. I enjoy incorporating games, conversation, and creativity to meet kids where they are developmentally. Madeline
