I am a junior at Auburn University and I am a nursing major and just started my upper division nursing classes! I have always loved being around children and have been working with them for quite a while. I went to a private high school that had a child care center and I worked there every week from my sophomore year to my senior year of high school! The age range of the child care center was 6 weeks to 3 years old. I also had around 15 families that I got to babysit/nanny for regularly until I left for college! I still get to babysit for them when I go home for breaks! Those ages ranged from newborn to 12 years old. In addition, I also got the opportunity to intern at the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta for a summer! I would describe myself as very calm and comforting! My goal is to provide reliable child care while also being a safe and loving space for children when their parents or guardians are not present! I strive to nurture and create fun memories for children while we are together and to create a peace of mind for parents while they are away from their children!

I’m easygoing, responsible, and really enjoy working with kids. Right now, I work as an Assistant Teacher at Grand Valley State University’s Children’s Enrichment Center in Michigan, so I spend my days helping kids learn, play, and feel comfortable in a safe environment. Before that, I was a summer nanny for three years, caring for multiple kids at once. I love getting outside with kids, playing games, and just keeping them engaged and having fun. At the same time, I’m very comfortable handling routines like meals, transitions, and keeping things clean and organized. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and safety is always a top priority for me. I try to build a good connection with each child and make sure they feel heard and supported. I’m dependable, patient, and happy to help wherever needed.

I am a current college student at Auburn University and I absolutely love kids. Throughout my childhood and high school I was a dancer. In this role, I was often with and caring for younger children, including teaching young children during my 7th-8th years! While my paid experience involves hosting and waitressing, I am happiest when spending time with children. Through my time with cousins and family friends, I feel I am ready to take on the position of caretaker and babysitter.

Hi, my name is Mackenzie Johnson and I am a rising senior at Auburn University! I love being a sitter because I want to go to medical school after I graduate and ultimately become a pediatrician, so working with kids has always been something I am interested in. I love being able to help out with anything needed and provide the kids with a fun environment. I was a sitter/nanny all throughout high school and have done various tasks such as school pick up/drop off, preparing meals, organizing the house, taking care of pets, and hanging out with the kids around the house. I am also CPR and Stop the Bleed certified. Overall, working with kids and being around them is one of my passions in life, and I’m hoping to help make parent’s lives easier and provide a safe and fun environment for their kids!
