A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Makayla, and caring for kids has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent almost four years working at a YMCA after-school program, I work at a summer camp every year, and I grew up babysitting for family and neighbors. Because of that, I’m comfortable with all ages and personalities, and I love creating a space where kids feel safe, heard, and free to be themselves. I’m patient, kind, and always ready to jump into crafts, outdoor activities, homework help, or whatever makes a child’s day brighter. My goal is to support families with dependable care and to bring calm, warmth, and fun into their routine.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny, to me, is building real trust with the kids. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and free to be themselves around me. It’s not just about keeping an eye on them-It’s about showing up with patience, kindness, and a genuine connection. When they trust you, everything else falls into place.

My experience with special needs children...

My experience with special needs children includes working with kids who have ADHD, autism, behavioral disabilities, are non-verbal, and those who have experienced trauma. I’m patient, calm, and focused on creating a safe, supportive environment where each child feels understood and cared for.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was when the kids got me so into Pokémon that I started my own card collection just so we could trade together. It became our little tradition, and seeing how excited they got made it one of the most fun parts of my job.
