About Makenna

Experience: 10 yrs

I have been taking care of children since I was young, both professionally and for family and friends. I love how each child is unique and amazing in their own way, and I always encourage expression and compassion with all the kids I take care of. I studied in Amsterdam, graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Clinical Psych. I am now a Clinical Psychology Ph. D student at Saybrook University, specializing in trauma processing in youth. I am looking for part-time work between Friday and Monday. I am currently a nanny for a family with a 2 and 3-year-old in the mornings, while completing my studies to become a LMFT. I have been a full-time nanny in the past as well, working with the little ones on creating routine, social-emotional skills, conflict resolution, communication skills, confidence and individuality, and more. I love spending time doing art activities and playing outside with the kiddos. Please reach out with any questions - I look forward to hearing from you

Makenna watched my four-year-old and two-year-old children over the summer. She was extremely reliable, patient, and caring with both kids. She connected with both in such a short period of time and kept them active and busy all summer. I would absolutely rehire Makenna and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.
