A little bit about me

Hi parents! My name is McKenna, I have 5+ years of experience with all ages, and I am currently earning a degree at GVSU with plans to pursue a Masters Degree in School Psychology! I am passionate about child development, so I love to do all things learning and crafts!

I am a dog mom of 2 - so most of my free time is spent with them on adventures! I live in Allendale, but I am open to traveling up to 25 minutes for the right family!

Please reach out if I sound like a good fit for your family and we can discuss scheduling! The schedule listed on my profile slightly varies from my current availability! I have a very flexible schedule as I am a college student, so I can move classes around for winter for the right family!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have 4 years of experience working in an in-home daycare with children ages 10 weeks to 13 years. I also spent 1.5 years working with children on the autism spectrum as a Registered Behavior Technician.


I have been working as a private nanny most recently, working for two families for a total of 1.5 years. The past summer was spent nannying for a 5 kiddo family, but they are all aging out of care and heading to school!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love anything crafts - Painting, coloring contest, playdough, bracelet making, science experiments are some of my favorites!

I love to play pretend and join them in their imagination! I love letting the child take the lead in play time and really engaging with them in what makes them happy!

In nice enough weather I love to get kids outside and moving! I love to play “camp games” if the kiddos are old enough, with littles I do lots of color/scavenger hunts!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I love being a nanny because I get to witness your child grow and learn about the world around them.

Being involved in a child's life during the time when they are learning who they will be in the world is such an important privilege and special thing to be a part of!

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with kiddos on the autism spectrum for 1.5 years. I worked in both an in-home setting as well as performing therapy in a center. I have experience with children of all ability levels!

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was spending the day at the pool with my nanny kids, and then going out to lunch to celebrate the end of summer!

We all shared stories of our favorite memories of summer and talked about what we are most excited for in the coming school year!
