About Makende

Experience: 5 yrs

I'd describe my personality as funny, caring, adventurous! I like working with kids because it's a passion of mine. Their energy and curiosity remind me of a more carefree time. I love being able to help them explore and navigate the world while maintaining that sense of playfulness. For me, it's about more than just caretaking; it's about being a supportive guide who makes sure their growth is filled with fun and positive memories I started working with kids when I was 12 years old I started babysitting for my neighbors. I then went on to be a permanent babysitter for 3 years and then a nanny for 1 year! Outside of training as a college athlete, I'm big on finding balance through new experiences. You can usually find me trying out new foods, scouting for the best local coffee shops, or hitting the trails for a hike. I also love cooking, watching movies, and hanging out with family and friends! My skills include: patience creating fun activities listening, to any and all needs!
