About Madison

Madison is a very experienced and natural caregiver. What I value most about her is that she creates a safe and secure foundation for children that allows them to flourish, be creative, learn and have fun all while having firm and fair boundaries. She has an energy that children find fun and comforting which allows her to build truly meaningful relationships with the children she cares for. A key part of her caregiving is her use of song, singing and rhythmic talking. She creates little "songs" about an activity, or what's expected of the child in a given scenario, which reinforces behaviour in a way that engages the child and encourages them to follow through. This is also useful because the song, and the behaviour attached to it, often stays in the child's mind. On top of her professional career, Madison's Masters in Child Psychology roots her approach in developmentally appropriate methods and lets her think deeply about how she works with children. I've seen this in her use of social stories, which, like the songs, help her explain expectations, transitions and more complex issues in a way that a child at any developmental stage can understand. I would recommend Madison to anyone looking for a reliable, experienced, empathetic and fun caregiver.
