A little bit about me

I have worked as a professional nanny, preschool teacher, and tutor for over 15 years. I have extensive experience in developmental milestone acquisition as well as learning to play and playing to learn. I believe that children that are happy learn better. My education is in early childhood development. My philosophy is that guiding a child in their learning about the world should be holistic. Building self confidence and self esteem is an important element in nurturing a child’s curiosity in order to explore their environment. I believe in getting down on a child’s level for playtime, laughter and smiles, and quiet moments spent reading a book. Pretend play allows for a child to learn problem solving skills. Getting outside for fresh air and exercise is an important part of exploration for a child. Art, music, and crafts can be introduced at a very young age to build on sensory experiences. I love what I do! I have met so many families and look forward to meeting my next family.

More About Me

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

I have been a preschool teacher, an Applied Behavior Analysis behavior technician, and worked in summer camps for children with special needs.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Reading, art, musical instruments, crafts, academics, outdoor activities, minor/ safe help in the kitchen mixing ingredients; exploring new places and things.

The most important part about being a nanny...

What matters most to me is being a team member/ family member. Making the days as wonderfully calm as possible for everyone. It’s not just about nurturing the baby/ child so they acquire new skills while playtime and laughter, but also understanding needs before they are spoken and stepping in. I’m also there to support mom and dad and their relationship with their child/ children

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with children with special needs, ages infancy to young adults. Not only did I teach life skills, but also taught creative art, photography, painting, pottery, and natural art experiences.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I had been nannying for a family for over a year; I could tell mom felt like she was missing out on hugs, snuggling, and just smelling her baby boy. During a week of him teething pretty terrible, he would cry until he fell asleep on me. Because mom was working from home, I texted her to come in and tag me out so she could have time with baby boy. The look on her face when she came in to take my place with baby boy is one I will never forget. Later we both cried and hugged. I understood as a momma what she was going through.

Makaile B. - Seeking Work in Round Rock

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Round Rock, TX: Makaile B.

Hi, my name is Makaile Bishop and I am a recent graduate of UT at Austin. I graduated in 2021 with a degree in theatre, so I love acting, performing, and watching performances. I've been a counselor for special needs in the summer, where I've had to take care of those in wheelchairs for extended periods of time, I watched their food intake and fed them when needed, I helped them take care of their hygiene routine (showers, bathroom, teeth brushing, etc.) and I kept them engaged throughout the day doing different activities. The people I've taken care of range from about 14 all the way to someone 30 years old with cerebral palsy. Along with confidence in my responsible caretaking ability, I can be a very fun caretaker! I enjoy cartoons, drawing, and most of the things you'd expect a child to enjoy. So, it shouldn't be a problem to keep children entertained.
