A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Makiah, and I’m an 18-year-old college student majoring in Criminal Justice at SUNY Niagara. I’m responsible, reliable, and great with kids, thanks to my natural patience and creativity. I currently juggle two jobs while attending college, which shows my strong work ethic, time management skills, and dedication.

I love engaging kids in fun, educational activities that encourage learning and creativity, like arts and crafts, storytime, and outdoor play. I also understand the importance of structure and safety, so I’m great at balancing fun with following schedules and household rules.

I’m someone who values family and community, and I know how important it is to find a nanny who genuinely cares about your children. I’m confident that my positive attitude, maturity, and strong sense of responsibility make me a great fit for your family.

Helping with development and learning – Whether it’s through structured activities, play, or everyday interactions, I want to help kids grow and explore the world around them.
Making parents’ lives easier – A nanny’s role isn’t just about the kids; it’s also about helping the family function smoothly by being reliable, organized, and adaptable.
