Hi! My name is Maddie, and I have over 10 years of experience working as a nanny. I have worked for the same wonderful family for over 3 years now, caring for two children. During that time I helped with daily routines, learning activities, outdoor play, and creating a safe, nurturing environment where the kids felt supported and encouraged to grow. Due to the kids starting school full time I am needing to find new employment. I have open availability, and I would love to meet your family! Please message me with any questions you may have

Hi! I’m a 25-year-old Colombian athlete and high-performance Track & Field competitor specializing in hammer throw. I’m fully bilingual in Spanish and English, which helps me communicate easily with both children and parents. I graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in Psychology and a certificate in Human Behavior. I also worked as a Behavior Technician supporting children with autism, where I developed strong skills in patience, emotional support, positive behavior guidance, and creating safe, structured environments for children. Families describe me as responsible, warm, dependable, and attentive. I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, feel supported, and have fun in a safe environment. I love creating engaging activities, spending time outdoors, helping with homework, and encouraging creativity and confidence. As an athlete, discipline, trustworthiness, and consistency are a big part of who I am. I take safety seriously, communicate well with parents, and always aim to care for children with the same attention and kindness I would want for my own family. I also love animals, enjoy cooking healthy meals, and would be happy to help with routines around the home. I’m always eager to teach, learn, and be a positive role model for the children I care for.

Hello! I am currently a college student home for summer break looking to continue babysitting. After graduation, I plan to continue on to Occupational Therapy School, aspiring to work in pediatrics. I am CPR and first aid certified, and have 4+ years of experience with babies, toddlers, and elementary aged children. When not babysitting, I work part-time as a caregiver in multiple group homes. I am skilled in house keeping, meal prep, diaper changes, and behavioral management. One of my favorite things about babysitting is seeing and interacting with each child’s fun and unique personality. I genuinely enjoy connecting with kiddos in a nurturing and caring way!

I want to be a pediatrician when I get older, so I have always enjoyed working with kids and caring for them. I love getting to meet new kids and their families and having fun. I have worked as a camp counselor CIT for 2 years and a paid camp counselor for 3 years. I have also worked as a youth leader for 3 years and volunteered with youth before them. I have volunteered with other youth groups, as well as done my senior service with 5-6 year olds in an elementary school. I have car and first aid training, on top of my experience working with kids.
