About Madison

I've raised kids in nearly every context.

I grew up in my family's daycare, so I've been around children since I could walk. I trained as an elementary teacher, then traveled the world for years as an au pair, including for a high profile family in Australia. I came home and taught fourth grade. I worked as a maternity photographer and walked alongside hundreds of mothers through their pregnancies. Then I had my own daughter, naturally and at home.

Most parenting advice online is written by people with one credential. I've lived nearly all of them.

What I've learned is this: capable kids don't come from perfect parenting. They come from a few daily habits, repeated, and a mother who knows what she's doing. That's what I help moms build.
