Meet Makena

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

Hi! My name is Makena :) I am 24 years old, I have worked as a babysitter/nanny since I was 16. I have cared for children of all ages, from newborn to early teenagers. My longest babysitting gig lasted a few years with a family with 5 children, including two sets of twins! I recently graduated college and I am looking for some extra income while I study for medical school, I figured getting back into babysitting would be perfect for me. I love working with children, and I want to continue to do so as I pursue medicine. I would love to help your kids with their homework, do arts and crafts, and play outside!

Makena was on time and flexible with my schedule. My kids absolutely loved her and can’t wait for her to come back. One of the best out there!
