Hi, I’m Makenzie! I have over 6 years of professional experience as a babysitter and nanny, caring for children from newborns to young teens, including those with special needs. I’ve completed training in infant and child CPR and medical safety, ensuring that I’m prepared to handle emergencies with confidence and care. I’m currently a student at Ferris State University (on break until fall of 2025!), working toward my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. I’ve already earned my Associate’s degree and hold teaching credentials in Michigan. With over 300 hours of teaching experience in preschool and kindergarten settings, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a genuine passion for supporting children’s growth and development. I love creating a safe, happy, and fun environment for kids and their families. Whether we’re doing crafts or playing games, I strive to keep kids engaged and smiling. I’m bubbly, patient, and always keep parents in Read more the loop with clear communication so they feel secure and informed. I’m also happy to help with extra tasks like driving children to and from school or appointments, and helping out with homework or around the house if time allows. My goal is to make life easier for parents while ensuring their little ones are cared for in the best way possible. Let’s work together to make your home a safe, fun, and stress free place for your family!
