A little bit about me
Hello I am Mackenzie Jones. I am 22 years old. I am a recent college graduate at Davis & Elkins College in Elkins, West Virginia. I just moved back home in D.C and is looking for a part-time babysitting job and maybe a full-time in the fall. I have gained hands-on experience working with children ages 2–10 through classroom observations, mentoring, tutoring, lesson delivery, and summer camp counseling. Supported children’s social, emotional, and cognitive development through interactive play, educational activities, and positive behavior reinforcement. Worked closely with educators to create safe, nurturing environments and adapt strategies to meet individual needs. Demonstrated strong communication, patience, and problem-solving skills while managing group and one-on-one settings.

A little bit about me
As a 24-year-old nanny with 3 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to grade-schoolers, I'm excited to provide a warm, nurturing environment for your family. I'm fluent in English and Kinyarwanda, and I have a diverse skill set that includes drawing, reading, music, and playing educational games. I'm comfortable with pets, chores, and even helping with homework. I achieved national honors in A-level examinations ranking in the top 30 nationally and volunteered to tutor primary and middle school students, and I therefore believe I can be a great study companion to your kid(s).
Although I don't have a first aid certification, I'm a responsible and empathetic caregiver who can ensure your children's safety and well-being. I'd be thrilled to discuss my experience and qualifications in more detail.
Apart from my paid nanny experience, I also helped raise four of my younger siblings, raising both toddlers, grade schoolers and teenagers.
