Booked by 1 family in Jamaica, NY

Hi there! My name is Madelyn, and I am a performer offering child care and pet sitting services. I'm a fun-loving individual with a background in teaching and theme park princess work. I’ve been babysitting kiddos of various ages for several years now! My responsibilities have spanned anywhere from transporting children to/from school, tutoring, mealtime/bedtime routines, and the occasional game of freeze dance! I am happy to work with any and all animals (I even have experience feeding snakes!) I don’t scare easily!

Madelyn is an absolute gem. Her communication was excellent and my toddler had the best morning in her care. She easily kept him engaged through creative play, and my son was disappointed when she had to leave! Highly recommend!

"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)."
