Hello! My name is Madeleine, and I am an 19-year-old student who has just moved back to Australia from the UK. I've just started at ANU!

I'm an experienced caregiver who's supported Canberra families for the last 3 years, working with kids aged 2-12 — including neurodivergent children and those with additional needs. Whether it's the morning rush (waking them up, breakfast, getting dressed, out the door on time) or the afternoon stretch after school (homework, activities, keeping things calm until you're home), I'm there to support the routine and make things easier. I'm also a qualified swim teacher, comfortable running water play and teaching basic swim skills in home pools — a bonus for families who want more than someone watching from the side. Parents are often surprised at how naturally kids open up to me — I bring patience, consistency, and genuine presence.
