Hi! My name is Makhenzie, I’m 20 years old and I’m moving from Oregon in late February or early March of 2027! I’ve worked in two different daycare centers since I was 16 and as nanny for a wonderful family for the past year, as well as babysitting since age 12. I’m CPR and first aid certified, and working with children is a genuine passion of mine! I love creating sensory experiences and interactive experiences, as well as being outside as much as possible! I’m looking forward to meeting wonderful families looking for a helping hand (and friend!)
