A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Macie, and I’m from Louisiana. I’ve always loved being around kids and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow in. I’m patient, dependable, and very hands-on—I enjoy doing things like crafts, outdoor play, and helping with learning activities.

I come from a close family and have experience helping care for children, which has taught me the importance of responsibility, communication, and trust. I’m someone who takes pride in being reliable and making sure both kids and parents feel comfortable and cared for.

I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and keeping a structured but fun routine. My goal is always to make life easier for parents while making sure the kids are happy, safe, and engaged.

A little bit about me

Hello! My last job working with kids as a teacher's assistant was a demanding yet super rewarding experience. I hope to have had the same impact on those kids as they did on me. I've loved working with kids since my first job in high school as a childcare provider at one of my hometown's local churches. Some of my other interests include skateboarding, yoga, cooking, gardening, photography, and reading. I'd love to share my hobbies with your kiddos if they show interest!
I've recently resigned from college temporarily for various reasons, therefore I'm available almost whenever you need me! I'd love to work with kids again, thank you for considering me!
