A little bit about me

My name is Makenzie! I am 21 years old and have been caring for children of all ages since I was just a preteen. I officially started working in a childcare center when I was 19 years old and loved my job!

To me, caring for a child means more than just watching them…it is to keep them safe, help them learn, grow, develop, and stay positive. Children are living for the first time and trying to learn the way of life. There’s always going to be ups and downs, it’s my job to help them overcome those obstacles and enjoy the great moments as well!

I am able to help out parents in any way I can including some light housework, running errands, small meal preps, e.t.c. I’d love to help your schedule and every day life!

Please reach out to talk more!!
