Hi everyone! My name is McKailey I’m 30 years old with an amazing 10 year old! I’ve been babysitting since I was 10 and have a passion for childcare! I am currently working full time as a teachers assistant for my third childcare facility, I was a nanny for five years, and am a mom!! I love what I do and honestly can’t picture doing anything but helping families and caring for their children! I have experience with all ages, allergies, special needs (autism, Down’s syndrome, children with hearing loss, just to name a few), behavioral hurdles, and much more! I am CDA certified as well as certified in CPR and First Aid. I love being outside and going on adventures with children, and when the weather is sad crafting is a must! I’m very flexible and laid back, but one thing I remain firm on is making sure that we are not just a team, but a family. I believe that communication, trust, honesty, patience, understanding, and love are the core to any good functioning nanny/family relationships! Some extra tid bits: My availability is based on my work schedule and my shared schedule with my son and his father so I can also do an occasional weekend (with or without my son is up to your preference and comfortability). Non smoker. Pet friendly. Willing to work with children who are under the weather. -waiting to be able to do my background checks but I promise they are clean! (They cost money to which I do not have currently). References are available! (:

I’m a caring, patient, and dependable mom with hands-on experience caring for and working with children of different ages and needs. I’ve worked with special education preschoolers as well as elementary-aged students, and I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel comfortable in their environment. As a mom of twins, I’m also very familiar with the unique routines, organization, and patience that come with caring for multiples.

I especially love working with young children and babies.

In addition to childcare, I can help with tutoring and homework, light cleaning and tidying, meal/snack preparation, and running errands when needed. My goal is not only to keep your children safe and cared for, but to make your life a little easier while you’re away. I’m someone who understands that every child and every family is different. I’m happy to communicate with parents, follow established routines, and provide the patience, attention, and care your children deserve. I would love the opportunity to become someone your family can feel comfortable and confident trusting with your little ones.
