Background: I've been babysitting since 2005 when I started being a mother's helper for my neighbors and watching my younger brother while my parents were away from home. I've held a number of babysitting jobs from being nanny to two teenagers to watching kids in the spouses' lounge of the Florida State Capitol and have cared for children as young as 6 months old. I've also been a summer camp art teacher, a youth leader to middle schoolers and high schoolers, and a summer camp counselor.
She’s cared for children as young as: 6 months old
Future plans: I'm planning to go back to school for a masters in Art Education!
When she’s not babysitting: When I'm not babysitting I work at my family's business in downtown Thomasville, GA. In my free time I enjoy spending time with friends, making art, playing video games, and hanging out with my dogs!
Defining quote: "I don't think anyone can grow unless he's loved exactly as he is now, appreciated for what he is rather than what he will be." -Mr. Rogers
“Maddie babysat for us for several years for our children from young toddler ages to 6th grade. She has an outstanding calm spirit about her that clearly matches well with handling children. Our oldest child was always on the move and Maddie handled her spirit and energy with creative ideas and her organically gentle nature. I can not recommend her abilities in this area highly enough. She is an articulate, bright woman with good solid common sense and a vast amount of creativity, which keeps kids entertained and engaged. Her family life is loving and solid and faithful, so she has a strong foundation which clearly guides and molds her character and overall being. In short, she is a true gem in every way.”
“We have known Maddie for many years. She was the primary sitter for our three children for many years (approx. 2013-2019). Maddie is very patient and compassionate. All three of my children (different ages and both boys and a girl) adored her. She in engaging, creative, responsible, and kind. We have all remained in touch with Maddie as she is now permanently part of our ‘family.’ I cannot recommend her enough!”
