A little bit about me
Hi, I’m Makena! I’m a caring, dependable, and energetic caregiver with several years of experience working with children of all ages. My background includes nannying, babysitting, and working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I supported children with diverse needs while helping them learn, grow, and thrive. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves, and I enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families.

A little bit about me
I've been babysitting since I was a young teen, starting with my 3 little brothers (they aren't too little anymore!). I began to babysit kids in my neighborhood and a little outside when i got into my older teen years and stopped once the pandemic hit to be extra cautious. I've been told by a few kids that I'm their favorite babysitter. I'm absolutely a kid at heart and definitely believe in allowing kids to use their imagination and creativity. I'm also a big fan of arts and crafts (I have an edible play dough recipe that's always a hit) and a big believer in playing hard (and sleeping hard later to let you rest, haha!). I adore kids, always have and love helping them grow and develop into their own beings. I have also worked at a vet in the past and can help with the pets as well. I'm a big fan of keeping the space I work a lot in neat, tidy, and organized (I love organizing). I am willing to work any hours and any days, this is truly my dream job and would love this opportunity.
