I am currently working on getting my Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I have also taken many classes on how I can improve the care and well being of the children I take care of. I have experience taking care of children between the ages of 3 weeks old to 14-year-olds. I love coming up with fun arts and crafts projects that encourage creativity, going on fun and educational outings like going to the library, the museum, the beach, the zoo, going to events geared towards children, and many more places. I also enjoy coming up with fun activities to do: doing science experiments, baking, exploring the outdoors, going on walks, and reading

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.

Thanks for your consideration. :)
