Hi! I’ve been babysitting since I was 10 and most recently have been substitute teaching children of all ages. I nannied for two families while in college the longest for 2.5 years and started with them when their firstborn was 1 years old then transitioned to newborn care after their second was born. I enjoy being imaginative and creative with children! I have also interned for three summers at a summer treatment program for 5-8 year olds with Autism and/or ADHD.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Makaiya as our temporary nanny while visiting Seattle on a business trip—and we couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment she met our kids, there was an instant connection. They warmed up to her right away, and it was clear she has a natural gift when it comes to working with children. What stood out the most was how effortlessly she took over—there was no need for detailed instructions or constant check-ins. She intuitively understood what the kids needed and kept them happy, engaged, and safe the entire time. It gave me so much peace of mind to know they were in such capable hands, which allowed me to focus completely on my meetings without a single worry. Makaiya made our business trip truly stress-free, and for that, I can’t thank her enough. She’s warm, dependable, and just wonderful with children. Highly recommend her to any family lucky enough to have her!
