A little bit about me

Hi, I am Makaelee and I LOVE to have fun and keep my mind and body active. I enjoy reading, going to the park, swimming, hiking, listening and dancing to music, and learning new things. I think it is so important to be patient when watching kids and I want to show children the kind discipline I needed when younger. I have lots of experience watching babies, toddlers, and adolescents of my friends and family, although I only recently considered nannying as a job. My preferred age range is 10 months-12 years old, but I am flexible and would enjoy nannying for any kid as long as we could create art and memories together. I enjoy cooking, cleaning, and education so I am more than welcome and excited to help your family with meal prep, homework, and household duties. I look forward to hearing from you!
