About Mikayla

I am creative, love caring for kids, playing with them, and leading them in fun activities. I'd describe myself as creative, empathetic, and caring. I like working with kids because of their big imaginations and honesty. Being around them brings me so much joy! I'm looking for a summer job that is at least a couple weekdays. I began babysitting at 13, where I discovered I love child care. For the first 3 years of high school, I designed and co-led a summer camp in which we cared for several kids, going on field trips around Chicago. For the past 2 years I have worked at an after school care program. I like biking, going to the gym, and swimming. I also love art, especially painting and drawing; thrifting with friend; caring for my dog; and spending time with my family. I'm very responsible, I'm flexible and easy to work with, and I prioritize being engaging with kids. My skills include imaginative playing, arts and crafts, and engaging in good conversation with kids.
