Booked by 1 family in El Cajon, CA
Hi, my name is Madeline! I love working with and caring for children and am excited to meet your family. I have experience babysitting children from a couple months old through elementary school-age. I am a speech-language pathologist and work in both an elementary school and in early intervention with children ages 15 months-3 years old. I am CPR certified, I am comfortable around cats and dogs, and I have reliable transportation.
“Madeline did a wonderful job taking care of my 9 month old son. They had fun reading books, singing songs, and dancing together. I appreciated her good communication and quick replies. She also has helpful insight on speech questions, given her speech pathologist expertise. I will definitely be booking her again!”
