Hi, my name is Madison and I just graduated from American University. I was in Girl Scouts for all of my K-12 education, volunteered at a preschool, and also worked at a ballet studio for younger kids so I'm very comfortable working with children. I also worked as a tutor/mentor at a middle school in D.C. I also love animals. I have a dog of my own and this past summer I also helped nurse kittens at Best Friends Animal Society!
