My name is Madalene McAllister and I have been babysitting for just over four years. I started out babysitting my brother when he was very small and eventually expanded to neighbors and family friends. I have also worked in church nurseries and have been in charge of kids during parental meetings such as PTSA and church meetings. I usually babysit for ages two to twelve but I am able and willing to do any range of kids. I have a black lab mix who is very energetic and I have dog-sat for many friends who have gone away on vacation.
In past summers I have volunteered at many camps as a counselor watching over kids aging six to fourteen. Regular activities included taking the kids to the pool, organizing crafts and activities to do inside, and playing organized games for exercise. I have also helped out in summer school and I was a teaching assistant for a second grade teacher most of my senior year of high school.
I am currently enrolled in the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, VA. I am working towards a major in Psychology with a minor in Business Spanish. I am also enrolled in the University's Elementary Education and plan on graduating with a masters in five years. I plan to become an elementary school teacher with a license in grades K-6.
I was so pleased with the help from Madalene and I give her the highest recommendation. Madalene stepped in at very short notice and did an excellent job with my two boys. She is responsible and reliable. She played Legos and read with them and even did yoga with my son at his request. - Kimberly S.

Working with Madalene has been a joy. She babysits for my 11 year old son and 6 year old daughter and has a real talent for making sure the kids have fun and follow the house rules. She manages both children extremely well despite their age difference. Madalene is very dependable and I absolutely trust her to take care of my children (and dog). - Catherine K.
Madalene is the first babysitter I had ever used from SitterCity & she was great. She sat for my three kids: 8 months, 3 years, and 5 years, while I ran errands for a few hours on a Saturday. The kids LOVED her. My ultra-competitive 5 year-old was excited to tell me that he scored the same number of goals as Madalene even though she was a "super good" soccer player. When I got home, the baby was sleeping and the 3 year-old and 5 year-old were playing . . . QUIETLY . . . inside. We will definitely ask Madalene to come over again! - Traci P.
I have worked with many family friends as well as my own sibling doing everything from helping with homework, feeding, bathing, and getting to bed.
