I live in The Colony and am available to care for a child between ages 2 and 6 in my home. I have over 10 years experience as a nanny and many years experience as an art teacher. I have also trained to be a Tinkergarten leader and led one season with that wonderful organization before it was paused this Spring. I have a 2 and 4 year old and am looking to connect with just the right family who would like to provide a holistic homeschooling environment for their preschooler. During all of 2017, I took my infant with me to nanny for a family with a similar aged child and we had a blast together. For 6 months in 2018 I did the same with a different family, caring for my own toddler and their infant. Even with the age difference, we still had a great time. My Read more kids Rory and Olive are very friendly and sweet-natured and love playing with other children. We get outside as much as we can to play and explore nature. I utilize my background as an art educator often as we draw, paint, mold, and experiment with a variety of other projects. We recently moved to a house in The Colony near Stewart Creek Park. We are still settling in but have a large room dedicated to playing and creating for me and the kids. I have shelves FULL of supplies, activities books and toys. I have a holistic outlook on life and try to practice mindful, positive parenting. I focus on clean, whole food for my kids and limit anything processed. I would LOVE to discuss an arrangement in more detail with you.

Makenzie was great. We used her to fill in for our nanny's vacation. She was there everyday, on time and did fun stuff with the kids. We will use her again when the need comes up.

Makenzie is a warm, smart, caring person and a terrific babysitter. She’s been an occasional evening babysitter for our kids (boy, 10 and girl, 7) for a couple of years now. She is extremely competent and her joy in working with children is obvious. My kids always have a good time with Makenzie, my daughter especially so. I highly recommend Makenzie as a babysitter.

I interviewed Makenzie in person for our position and was very impressed by her. Unfortunately our schedules did not match up but I am confident she would make an excellent sitter. She is poised, fun, smart, confident and capable. The kids adored her. Any family would be lucky to hire her!
