About Makena

Hi! My name is Makena and I'm a Chico State graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Child Development. I have over 3 years of paid experience working with children of all ages, and I'm passionate about helping families create a smoother, more joyful day-to-day routine. Growing up with a single mom and wonderful nannies, I know firsthand how much of a difference a supportive caregiver can make and I strive to bring that same warmth and reliability to the families I work with. I'm flexible, dependable, and emotionally attuned to kids' needs. I love journaling, going on walks, being creative, and watching movies, interests I often share with the children I care for! Whether it's playing, problem-solving, or just being a steady, kind presence, I aim to make a positive impact in your child's life. Looking forward to connecting and seeing how I can best support your family!
