I’ve spent the last two years immersed in childcare, and I can honestly say it’s one of my greatest passions. Growing up as the older sister of five, I’ve always had a natural inclination to care for others. From a young age, I took on the responsibility of looking after my siblings, which laid the foundation for my love of working with children. Every day in my childcare role feels like an adventure. I thrive on the energy and curiosity that children bring into the world. Whether it’s playing games, reading stories, or simply being there to listen, I find immense joy in nurturing their development. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch them grow, learn, and discover new things. I believe that every child is unique, and I strive to create a supportive environment where they can express themselves freely. My experience with my siblings has taught me patience and empathy, qualities that I carry into my work every day. I truly love what I do, and I can’t imagine my life without the laughter and joy that working with children brings me.

Hello! My name is MacKenzie Christopher, and I’m currently studying Horticulture with a minor in Sustainable Local Foods at South Dakota State University. I’ll be graduating this December (2025). You might be wondering why I’m applying for a nanny or caretaker position. The answer is simple: I genuinely love working with kids and supporting families. I enjoy creating fun, safe, and engaging environments where children can learn, laugh, and grow. Whether it’s reading stories, exploring outdoors, or doing crafts and games, I find joy in helping children discover new things each day. I’m passionate about childhood development and have taken several college courses to deepen that passion. I’m also committed to ensuring that children participate in age-appropriate activities and have the structure they need to grow developmentally. I have experience caring for children through both babysitting and educational settings, and I hope to one day open a nature-based preschool or outdoor camp in the Cedar Rapids area where kids can learn through exploration and play.
