I'd describe my personality as bubbly, authentic, and dependable. I like working with kids because they see the world through new eyes and remind me how beautiful life is. I'm looking for a job that allows me to use and continue to hone my skills with children. I have experience tutoring and I enjoy cooking, so would love to include little ones with meal prep. I worked as a part-time nanny several years ago caring for a 1-year-old boy, as well as a family with 3 girls--ages 3, 5, and 8. In my spare time I like to cook, dance, read, and work on writing my memoir. One thing you should know about me is I worked as a self-employed wedding planner for eight years, so I am well-versed in handling high-intensity situations with a calm demeanor and positive attitude. My skills include communication, creative thinking, and patience.

Makenna was a temp, part-time nanny for 1 month while my regular nanny went out for a medical procedure. I was in a desperate situation when I was searching for a last-minute fill-in, so I hired Makenna even though she didn't have as much childcare experience as I would normally look for. However, she was FANTASTIC. She formed a bond with my girls (ages 6 & 3) very quickly, and was able to keep them engaged and happy while helping me with their morning routine: brush teeth, eat breakfast, change clothes, and get ready for school. I even felt comfortable with her driving my 3yo to preschool on some mornings. Makenna is proactive, diligent, takes direction well, and can do a multitude of things (clean, laundry, cook, take care of the kids, take them out to the park, etc.) She would be a wonderful addition to any family!
