Hi! My name is Makenzie and I am a 24-year-old college student studying at BCTC! I spent my teenage years babysitting and decided to move to Australia after high school graduation to become an Au Pair to 2 little boys! After staying for about 9 months, I moved home to become a white water rafting guide. Since then, I have babysat on and off in the different places I've lived, but really miss working full-time with little ones. I've done everything from overnight stays with three-month-old twins to school pick-ups for elementary school students. This past year, I worked full-time as an Adoptions Counselor at a local humane society before deciding to pursue higher education, so I am very comfortable with pets, too! My childcare approach is very Montessori-based with limited screen time. I am a huge crafter with a million projects always going on, so incorporating sensory and creative Read more play is my favorite way to engage with little ones. Homemade play doh? I'm so there! I love being outside or in the kitchen experimenting with a new recipe when I'm not immersed in my latest project. I am comfortable cleaning, meal prepping, or doing another household task as well. I'm looking forward to connecting further!
