Hi there! I'm Mackenzie, a passionate professional nanny with 6 years of experience. I've also spent time working at camps and church daycares, and I am currently a junior in college pursuing a psychology degree with a dream of opening my own practice to help both adults and children. My caregiving approach is rooted in gentle parenting and child-led methods. I believe in getting on the child's level and understanding their needs in the kindest and safest way possible. For instance, if a toddler makes a mess, I gently explain what happened and let them take the lead in cleaning while ensuring their safety. I'm a big fan of Montessori learning, creating safe and open spaces for children, and providing various measures to ensure their safety and well-being. I also embrace baby-led weaning to help infants explore different foods and flavors. In my caregiving, I follow a Montessori-style approach, aiming Read more to raise independent, kind, and intelligent children.
