• Comfortable with pets

My name is Maddie Dorenbusch! I graduated from Brentwood High School in Brentwood, Missouri this previous May. Growing up in a small city, my older sister was always a babysitter for my friends and myself. I have looked up to her my entire life and seeing how amazing she was with kids and how happy it made her inspired me to test the waters. I began nannying and babysitting in eighth grade and continued throughout high school. The families I watched included families around Brentwood and cousins of mine, the ages ranged from infancy to eleven with the number of kids at a time ranging from one to four. I think I fell in love with working with kids because they make everything interesting. Their imaginations amaze me they can make the simplest things something you'll enjoy and laugh about for hours. When I applied for my first job I Read more didn't realize how different it would be going from watching children to selling shoes in retail and spending the majority of my time with adults. I do not regret that experience by any means because it helped me mature into the woman I am today but it also helped realize how much fun kids are to be around. When I am at the YMCA, I do not feel like I am at work. I get to see the lightbulbs go off and watch kids develop skills they never even imagined they could acquire. I believe I work well with kids because I take the time to put detail into the games we play, find fun activities around the house or even in the community, but most importantly taking the time to listen to them.
