Hello! My name is Madison Clark and I love kids! I am a sophomore studying Psychology at Calvin University and hope to become a child therapist in the future. I have been babysitting for 7 years, so I would say that I am very experienced in babysitting all kinds of kids, from very well-behaved to kids with behavioral problems. I love each child I babysit and believe that they can make a difference in this world! I have lots of experience watching kids with extreme allergies (I am epipen certified). I have nannied children for 3 summers and have babysat multiple times a week consistently for the past 7 years. I genuinely love spending time interacting with kids; playing games, building forts, doing art projects, reading books, doing science experiments etc. I am comfortable watching many kids, as I have experience handling families with of up to 6 kids. I Read more would describe myself as fun, kind, gentle and able to get shy children to warm up to me quickly. If a child has behaviors where they are threatening to hurt themselves or others, I gently ask them to take some time to breathe and think about the situation; how it made them feel, how their actions made the other people involved feel, and how they think we can move on from here and apologize. I believe that my many years of experience babysitting all different kinds of children combined with my warm and fun personality makes me a great fit to watch your kiddos! Please reach out if you have any questions!

Madison was so patient with my crazy and difficult son. She went above and beyond to help calm my clingy son by trying anything and everything to make him happy. By the end of the first day she babysat for us he was waving bye to her, which he doesn’t do for anyone! We definitely recommend Madison to anyone needing a wonderful sitter!
