Hi! I’m Maddy, and I would love to work with your family. A little bit about me, I am 24 years old, married, with one baby girl of my own. Prior to starting a career in childcare, I was adopted & raised by two loving parents who were also licensed foster parents. I know you’re probably asking why that is relevant to caring for YOUR child. Well, I’m glad you asked. Throughout the duration of my childhood, I was able to learn alongside my parents, how to care for children of all various backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, and with different levels of needs. After graduating high school, I promptly started a career path in caring for children. I am now 6, going on 7 years in the field, and will officially be a preschool teacher at the end of this year! My philosophy is that EVERY child deserves to feel loved, safe, and seen. I am confident that my skill set along with the passion for children I bring to the table, make me a perfect match to help meet the needs in your home :) I also have redone my first aid/ CPR certification and can provide proof of that along with my personal & professional references as requested!
