Meet Maddie: A nanny and babysitter in Balgowlah Heights, NSW

Hi! My name is Maddie, and I am highly passionate about fostering a safe, nurturing and exciting environment for young children to flourish in. I graduated from Redlands School in 2024 and have since been gaining experience in childcare as a babysitter, school sports coach, while also gaining experience in retail. My childcare experience began in 2022, when I volunteered as an assistant in the Redlands pre-school OOSH (Out of School Hours). For many years of my life, my hobbies have involved health and fitness, travel, dance, netball, and touch football. I am currently studying politics and marketing at University, with a large interest in human rights and diplomacy. In my experience as both the child and the worker in childcare, I believe reliability, communication and mentorship are at the epicentre of a positive babysitting experience for both families and the babysitter. Many would describe me as possessing these traits, along with humour, creativity, ingenuity, kindness, and an attention to detail. I approach all tasks and activities with confidence and an eagerness to learn more about others while simultaneously learning more about myself in different roles. I cherish any opportunity to become a mentor for a child, as I believe it can take just one person during a child's development to bring out something so special in them!
