Madison A.

madison is everything you never knew you wanted in a babysitter. she is up front about her needs, loving and sweet with baby, and when she leaves your home is impeccable too. i hesitate writing this review because i want her to work with me forever and ever. she’s so good, i’m worried i’ll never want another babysitter. seriously! she should start a training camp :)

Madison is amazing! I needed help juggling my preschooler and my newborn in the morning, and she came into our lives and went above and beyond. I love how completely engaged with both kids, regardless of age (and it's difficult to be engaged with an infant!). She makes my normally shy toddler laugh, and she reads to the baby and makes her smile. She's not one of those babysitters who you'll find on their phone, she is very present. Other than childcare, she is INCREDIBLY helpful with chores - when I am nursing, she is bustling around the house tidying up, or vacuuming, or doing laundry. She takes initiative, and if there isn't anything that obviously needs to be done, she asks how she can be helpful. She's always on time, very communicative, and is so friendly. I have recommended her to all my friends with full confidence. She fills this overwhelmed mama with calm, and we are so very grateful for her!

What a lifesaver! Madison was the first person that stood out to me and after meeting with her I knew she was the perfect fit! Im a single/new mom, struggling with with work and newborn, Madison made it so easy for me and i wouldn't have to worry about a thing. She keeps me updated, and help my baby with a set schedule. Im really glad I found her.

Madison responded very promptly to my ad and was able to come over on short notice. She did an amazing job with my 8 and 9 year old. My kids did not want her to leave and can't wait to see her again. She was very helpful and professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Within seconds of communicating, I automatically knew she would be the perfect fit!

During our 2 month stay in San Diego (visiting fellow from Denmark at SDSU) we needed help to look after our two boys. We arrived from Denmark to San Diego only knowing Madison from our contact via Sittercity. But as it was the case from her first response to our post, she was trustworthy right from the start. Though the task of taking care of two boys (4 and 8 years old) who don’t know the language could be seen as a bit of a challenge, she faced it with positive and creative thinking and put together daily activities that really enriched their stay – and therefore also ours. As a great bonus Madison had her very sweet and most well behaved 4 year old daughter with her. Our boys enjoyed playing with here, and made childcare to a fun play date. We give Madison our best recommendations and wishes her all the best.

I'm so glad we found Madison as a sitter! When I contact her she is very prompt to respond and great at communicating expectations upfront. She arrives on time and communicates in advance so I don't have to worry about her cancelling, not showing up, or being late. She is very confident and comfortable with kids (she has two sweet daughters) and is very calm and patient. I feel like I can truly relax when Madison is watching my daughter and when I arrive home the house is clean and my daughter is happy.

Madison needed very little direction for supervision of my 1 and 2.5 year old. She gave me very pertinent feedback when I got home as to the nights events and any mishaps between my children. She also tidied up my house and cleaned up thoroughly after dinner. Her truest merit is her delightful and well mannered daughters. I look forward to my children having a long term relationship with Madison.

We contacted Madison after moving to San Diego. She was very cordial and professional. She showed up a little early so that she could get to know the home and my kids. We felt extremely comfortable with her right away! My wife and I finally had our date night and has no worries whatsoever that our children were well taken care of. Highly recommended and by far the best babysitting experience we've ever had.

I am a single dad and was looking for a sitter to come help get my daughter off to school on days I had to work early. Madison was the first sitter I've ever had for my daughter. I was a little nervous at first but Madison was amazing! She interacted amazingly with my daughter, was on time, kept me updated. Needless to say, my worries quickly went away. I look forward to using her for all of my sitting needs! Thanks again Madison!

My organization hosted a community event where we wanted to provide childcare for the working parents in attendance. Madison was punctual and professional and great with the kids. She was also really communicative before the event, which I really appreciated. She made sure everything ran smoothly and everything was cleaned up and put away before she left. This was not a typical babysitting job and she was patient, flexible and caring. The kids had a great time with her, too! I'd highly recommend her to anyone!

Madison is so approachable and nice. She always showed up on time, if not early. I think she really understood and respected how I asked for my 2 year old to be cared for and that really helped with my nerves. 10/10 would hire her again!

I called Madison with short notice (the day before I needed a sitter) to babysit my 3 year old daughter and 18 month old son in the late evening. She talked to me and my daughter on Skype, so that we could meet her beforehand, and my daughter instantly liked her. While my husband and I went to a work party, she put my son to bed, played with my daughter, and even straightened up the house. Throughout the night she texted me updates and a video. When my husband and I got home later than expected she was very courteous and understanding. I would recommend Madison to anyone looking for a babysitter, and I would definitely hire her again.

Madison was awesome, she was very flexible with her schedule to accommodate me in my time of need. All the days she watched my son, my son was happy to be with her and her daughter. I will definitely recommend her to anyone out there that need this service.

We have nothing but good things to say about Madison. She watched our toddler and infant. I felt so comfortable leaving them in her care. Our toddler loved to play with her little girl. It really worked out well. When there was down time, Madison straightened up the house. We hope that she will be available in the Fall to watch our girls again!

Madison is GREAT!!! Always early and is super great with my 7 and 5 year olds. She is flexable and will go out of her way to help make sure everything is taken care of so when you get home there is less to do. We would TOTALLY recommend her as she is totally AWESOME!!!!!

Madison is a wonderful, amazing & caring babysitter. She came through for me in a pinch. She was prompt, kind & very thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the day & she even took my little guy out to a festival in which he had a blast. He is still asking me when she's coming back:)

We have two little girls (2 years old and 4 months old) and I needed someone to watch our infant on two separate days. Madison applied and I was immediately impressed with her application. I only had two days before the babysitting job so I did not have time to conduct an in-person interview however we spoke on the phone and I hired her for the job. After our phone call, Madison emailed me her resume and followed up with a confirmation email the night before both babysitting jobs. Madison's follow through and professionalism set her apart from the other applications. She arrived on time and jumped right into action. I felt VERY comfortable leaving my baby with her. Our daughter was just learning to take the bottle and Madison worked with her until she got the hang of it, even staying a bit late to help with getting her settled on the first day. In addition, she sent me videos and picture updates throughout the day which I loved. She even managed to do some light organizing around the house which was a huge plus! I highly recommend Madison and look forward to working with her again!

I got a bunch of applications to help with my now eight month old son and didn't see a standout until Madison sent her resume to me. She is even better in person than on paper. My first time mommy jitters were at an all time high when I dropped my son off at her house and she instantly relieved them when she started interacting with him. I would happily recommend Madison to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly sitter.

Madison drives our son to sports practices on a regular basis and is always on-time and cheerful. She is a safe driver and is friendly and reliable. We wouldn't hesitate to use her as a babysitter for our son or daughters should the need arise.

Madison has been a joy to have as a babysitter. We currently use her for date nights and to watch our infant son for "mommy-daughter dates". We love the fact that she is a mother of two beautiful children because we know she has first-hand experience of the various stages from newborn through toddler. She interacts very well with my 2 year old and my 3 month old. She texts me throughout the night to give me updates. She available on short-notice which is also very convenient. I highly recommend her as a babysitter for children of all ages.

Madison was wonderful! She showed up early, was very professional, mature, and immediately took to the kids. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter. She kept in touch with us throughout the night via text messages and even sent some pictures. We ended up staying out a little later than planned and she was nicely accomodating with it. No complaints at all :) I would use her again in a heartbeat!

Madison watches our 8 month old daughter, and does an amazing job! She is always professional, on time, and prepared. She knows exactly how to care for our daughter. She plays with her, feeds her, and gives her a bath with no problems! She is very qualified and it shows. She alway sends us messages, pictures, and videos while we're gone to make us feel comfortable. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Madison was a babysitter for my 10 year old daughter. She was very reliable and considerate. She texted me almost every time before she came over to make sure that everything would go scheduled. My daughter loved to be around her. I really appreciate her help and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anybody who needs a babysitter.

Madison was great with my 3 children. She responded to my ad in a timely manner. She arrived at my house with my children and jumped right in. The kids had fun with her and she was very attentive with them. Madison also was very willing to help with dinner prep for that night. The next day the kids were asking when Madison would be back so we're all looking forward to when she can babysit again.
