About Mikayla

Hi! My name is Mikayla. I am a Kinesiology major working towards becoming a Physical Therapist one day. I was born in 1998 to a large and loving family. In total, I have 8 siblings and I've been babysitting for as long as I can remember. I discovered my passion for working with children as a teenager assisting my grandmother with her family day care. Some of my fondest memories were of watching each child walk through the door with excitement. I make a special effort to connect with every child I encounter and do my best to get to know them. I've worked at several preschools and childcare centers as a teacher's assistant, with children ranging from infants to teenagers. In my spare time, I enjoy drawing, painting, and using my imagination to come up with stories. I love working with children, and I can't wait to babysit for your family!
