Hi! My name is Makenna, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I spent 3 years as a live-in nanny, which gave me the opportunity to build strong, lasting relationships with the families I worked with and truly become a supportive part of their daily lives. I absolutely love working with kids and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can grow, learn, and just be themselves. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning creative activities, or simply making sure your child feels comfortable and cared for, I always bring patience, positivity, and attentiveness to everything I do. I also have extensive experience working with children with special needs, and I take pride in being understanding, adaptable, and supportive of each child’s unique personality and needs. Coming from a large family and being the second oldest, I’ve always been surrounded by kids Read more and naturally stepped into a caregiving role from a young age. It’s something that truly comes naturally to me and has shaped who I am today. Families describe me as very dependable, responsible, and easy to communicate with. You can count on me to show up, stay organized, and provide consistent, loving care for your little ones. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and be someone you can trust with your children!
