Hi! My name is Mikayla, and I would love to come hang out with your kiddos! I am currently getting my Master's degree in Social Work and am looking for a part-time job. I worked at a daycare this past summer with toddlers, and I absolutely loved it! The kids that I hung out with were so curious and funny, and it was so cool to watch them discover things every day! I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I am more than willing to include pet care and light housekeeping during my visits. I am a huge proponent on communication, and I love to encourage the kids that I work with to express their emotions, know that it's okay to be feeling big emotions, and to have someone who can comfort them anytime they need. I worked with 12 toddlers on a daily basis, so I am quick on my feet in times of need, and I know how to de-escalate situations. I would love to answer any questions you may have! Thanks for your consideration. :)
