Madeleine $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Maddie, an early childhood educator with over 7 years of experience working with children. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Studies from Sonoma State University and currently work as a lead teacher at a nature-based preschool in Kensington. I have experience caring for children from infancy through elementary school age in both classroom and home settings. My background in early childhood education has given me a strong understanding of child development, routines, emotional regulation, and creating engaging, developmentally appropriate experiences. I love providing hands-on, play-based care and spending time outdoors, exploring nature, doing art projects, reading, and encouraging imaginative play. I’m also comfortable with meals, naps, diapers and potty routines, outings, and caring for multiple children. I’m patient, dependable, nurturing, and energetic. I’m also fluent in English and Spanish and am happy to incorporate Spanish naturally into everyday play and routines. I’m currently looking for a full-time nanny position with a family where I can provide consistent, nurturing care and build a long-term relationship with both the children and their parents. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family!

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
