Hi! My name is Maddy and I’m a dance teacher who has 10 years of child care experience. I love working with kids of all ages and can provide screen free entertainment and loving care.

I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy watching children grow, learn, and experience life. Every child is unique, and I find joy in being part of their development and helping them feel safe and supported. I’ve worked at a daycare for six years, caring for children of various ages and abilities. My experience includes creating fun, safe environments, helping with routines, and supporting children’s emotional and social needs.

My number one priority is to keep the children happy and safe.

I love caring for kids and building relationships with them as we get to know each other. I have been a nanny for two summers and had several babysitting jobs over the last 5 years. I love dogs- that’s a plus to the job!
