Hi families!! My name is Makena, and I’m currently seeking a live-in summer nanny position before I begin law school this fall. I recently graduated from The University of Alabama with a degree in International Studies and Spanish, and I’m looking for a role where I can be fully engaged, active, and supportive within a family environment. I have several years of consistent nanny experience, working with families throughout college and continuing now with families in Alabama. I’ve cared for children ranging from toddlers to elementary-aged, often managing multiple children at once while maintaining a structured, positive, and engaging routine. I naturally connect with kids of different personalities and energy levels, and I prioritize creating an environment where they feel safe, supported, and genuinely enjoy their time. In addition to nannying, I served as the Assistant Director of a children’s camp at a country club for two years, where I Read more supervised groups of children, planned daily activities, and managed schedules. This role strengthened my ability to multitask, stay organized, and lead with both patience and energy. I also have experience as an elementary ESL tutor (K–5th grade), helping students build confidence academically while adapting to their individual learning styles. I am very comfortable with day-to-day household support, including meal prep, maintaining routines, organizing activities, helping with homework, running errands, and assisting with general household management. I understand the importance of being both a reliable caregiver and a proactive, helpful presence in the home. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to connect with children in a unique and meaningful way and support language development if desired. I truly love working with children—not just supervising them, but investing in their growth, confidence, and happiness. I bring a calm, positive energy into the home, and families can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and fully present. I would love the opportunity to support your family this summer and become a meaningful part of your children’s daily lives!
