A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Mackenzie! 💕 I’m a caring, responsible, and easygoing person who genuinely loves being around kids and making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

I have over a year of hands-on childcare experience with my partner’s children, and I’ve loved getting to be part of their everyday lives—from keeping them entertained and engaged to helping with routines, meals, outings, and all the little things that come with caring for kids.

I also have a background as a Certified Recovery Mentor, which has taught me a lot about patience, communication, responsibility, and meeting people where they’re at. I’m dependable, attentive, and calm under pressure, but I also know how to have fun and be silly when the moment calls for it!

I’d love to be someone your family can feel completely comfortable trusting with your kiddos. 💗

A little bit about me

Hi there, I'm Emma, I am 21 years old and currently working in cosmetology school to further my career. I currently am looking for part time work, or some flexible work too. I work at school from Thursday-Saturday, so I am looking for work amongst my free days. I have work experience with kids, not only with working towards being a hairstylist, but I have done babysitting in the past. I adore kids and find them easy to work with, (less stressful than school for me). I currently am working towards my drivers license, so I am searching for work within my area. I am first aid and cpr trained though, and a lot of my previous work has been at retirement homes. I really love to help out as much as I can. If this sounds like an aligning schedule to yours, message me and we can figure out the rest!
