I believe watching kiddos should mean more than just safety and supervision - it means knowing them, nurturing their future growth and development, and so, so much more. I love children and prioritize quality time and interaction with them. I spent 1 year as a full time live-in nanny to a wonderful boy (1yr). Following, I cared for a pair of siblings, boy (1yr) and girl (5 yr), for 2. 5 years. I've spent several years babysitting children of various ages (and group sizes) and I still have great relationships with my families. I'm an organizer, planner, multitasker, and extremely adaptable. I am very artistic, outdoorsy, and intellectually inclined. I am wonderful at math, reading, and writing. I have always been a 4. 0 student. In 2015 I completed an Emergency Medical Technician program in Oregon. I finished a BA in French and currently applying to grad school for Natural Sciences. I've lived abroad and would be happy to help teach your kiddos a second language!
Mikayla worked in our home for over two years as a daily childcare provider, and in that time she became an invaluable part of our family. Mikayla has a natural gift for building strong, positive relationships with children. She bonded quickly with both of our kids, even though most of their time together was during busy school mornings. She has shown exceptional patience and creativity in caring for our daughter, who has ADHD, and her thoughtful observations and ideas have been a great support to us as parents. Reliability and adaptability are two of Mikayla’s strongest qualities. She has stepped in countless times on short notice, managed household challenges with grace, and remained steady during unpredictable circumstances. Her calm presence and problem-solving skills have provided our family with stability during times when we needed it most. Mikayla is also an excellent communicator. She anticipates needs, raises concerns proactively, and adapts her approach to suit both children and adults. Her professionalism, good judgment, and genuine enthusiasm for learning make her not only a wonderful caregiver, but also a strong role model. In short, Mikayla is dependable, kind, adaptable, and deeply committed to the children she cares for. We wholeheartedly recommend her for a nanny role, and we are confident she would be an asset to any family.
