Madyson Carbondale
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Madyson. I am a junior at S I U and a Carbondale native, majoring in criminal psychology. I am responsible, adaptable, and love making time with kids fun and meaningful. I began working with children as a gymnastics instructor and currently teach camps through the SIU track team. I also work as a lifeguard at the SIU Rec Center and am certified in lifeguarding and first aid. During the summer, I serve as a head lifeguard at the Carbondale Splash Park. I enjoy that every day is different, and I take pride in helping kids reach their goals, try new things, and laugh along the way. Child safety is very important to me, and I always make sure children feel supported, cared for, and safe. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, painting, staying active with track, and participating in campus activities. Families can count on me to be reliable, caring, and focused on creating a safe, positive environment for their children.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
