Hello to all families and parents looking for a child care provider! My name is Makenzie and I am a recent graduate from Lawrence University. As a passionate and charismatic individual, I studied Early Childhood Education at Lawrence University in hopes of becoming an Elementary school teacher! My life as an educator has allowed me to work with children not only in a structured learning environment, but also as a child care provider and tutor. I have been a babysitter for 8 years now and have provided consistent care for several families long-term, and year-round. I am experienced and comfortable caring for newborn babies, infants and toddlers, all the way through early teen years. I come highly recommended by families who have hired me as their summer, *over-night, and year long child care provider. *Over-night care: For three years I have worked with 3 families- some looking for a weekend Read more away, while others have traveled out of state and country for weeks at a time. Through recommendations, these families have utilized my care on a consistent basis. As a versatile individual, I love to paint, draw, and sculpt in my free time. This carries over when I work with kids, as I not only have the patience but also the enthusiasm to work on art projects. I am also a huge believer in creative and imaginative play, being outside, and keeping kids engaged in new and exciting activities. As a caregiver, I easily adapt to each families expectations and routines and I am able to provide homework help. With prior job experience as a tutor and "reading buddy" in elementary schools, I am able to help children improve their academics through applied and acquired reading and writing skills. If you feel that I may be a good fit for you and your family, or you would like a copy of my resume, please feel free to contact me via Sittercity.
