A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Makaelin, but most people call me Kiki! I’m 20 years old and located in Baldwinsville, NY. I currently attend Onondaga Community College, where I’m studying Early Childhood Education because I love working with children and helping them learn and grow. I’ve been babysitting and nannying since 2022 and also have experience working in daycare and elementary school settings. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, going to concerts and festivals, shopping, and being outdoors. I have a fun, energetic, and caring personality, and I love finding ways to keep kids entertained, happy, and engaged! I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have my own license and reliable transportation, and am always happy to provide references or letters of recommendation upon request.

More About Me

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

I have experience working with children in elementary schools and daycares. I've also been babysitting and nannying for families since 2022.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love keeping kids entertained with fun, creative, and age-appropriate activities! Some of my favorite things to do include arts and crafts, coloring, baking cookies, playing board games, doing puzzles, reading stories, playing outside, going to parks, and having movie nights. I also enjoy imaginative play, building forts, playing dress-up, and coming up with fun activities that allow kids to use their creativity. I love finding new ways to make babysitting fun.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I think the most important part of babysitting and nannying is making sure children feel safe, loved, comfortable, and supported while their parents are away. It's important to build trust with both the children and their families, be patient and understanding, and make sure each child feels heard and valued. I also believe it's important to create a fun, positive environment where kids can be themselves, learn new things, and make happy memories. At the end of the day, I want parents to feel confident knowing their children are in good hands and for the kids to feel excited and happy to spend time with me.

My experience with special needs children...

I also have experience caring for autistic children in daycare settings.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite memories from babysitting was when I took a little boy I was watching to Chick-fil-A for lunch. He was trying to open his ketchup, and it ended up exploding everywhere, all over my car! It was such a funny, unexpected moment, and even though it made a huge mess, we couldn't help but laugh about it. Another one of my favorite memories was when we carved pumpkins together, got some candy, and watched a movie while we carved. I love doing little activities like these because they make babysitting so much more than just watching kids. It's about creating fun experiences, making memories, and making sure the kids have a great time!
