Hi! I’m a 38-year-old mom, married with a wonderful 2-year-old and a love for dogs. Before becoming a parent, I worked as a geologist, but I stepped away from my career to care for my son, who was born prematurely and has complex medical needs. Because of this journey, I have extensive hands-on experience with medically complex children, including caring for GTubes, ostomy bags, central lines, TPN, and working closely with home health nurses. I understand firsthand how hard it can be to leave your child in someone else’s care, especially when they have extra needs, and it’s important to me to offer families the same understanding and support I once needed myself. I am patient, intuitive, and comfortable caring for children with developmental delays, including challenges with speech, fine motor, and gross motor skills. I’m also available to care for children without special needs, and I bring the same calm and nurturing approach to every child I work with. I am currently available during weekdays (after 9 AM) while my son is at school, as well as on weekend evenings. If you’re looking for a caregiver who is dependable, compassionate, and experienced with a wide range of needs, I’d love to connect and learn more about your family. Please send me a text message if you would like to connect! [removed]

Hi! My name is McKenna, and I have a strong passion for working with children and supporting families. I worked at Build-A-Bear Workshop for a little under a year, gaining hands-on experience creating fun, engaging, and positive experiences for kids of all ages. I love being a positive role model and bringing a warm, encouraging presence into every environment. I am very energetic and naturally adapt to each child's personality and energy level. Whether that means keeping up with active play or creating calm, structured moments, I can meet kids where they are. I am also very patient, understanding, and attentive, which helps me build trust and strong connections with both children and parents. I have experience working with a wide age range, from 1 to 17-year-olds, and I value open communication with families to ensure the best possible care. I am currently in school studying to become a child therapist, so I am especially passionate about emotional support, development, and helping children feel safe and understood. I am very creative and imaginative, and I love coming up with fun activities, games, and ways to keep kids engaged and happy. I am also more than happy to provide a reference from my time at Build-A-Bear Workshop!

I’m a responsible and dependable caregiver who enjoys creating a safe and positive environment. I’m happy to help with crafts, reading, games and bedtime routines while keeping things calm and structured. I’m also comfortable preparing simple meals and helping keep things tidy. I’m comfortable with pets and have several years of experience with both dogs and cats. I’m happy to help with pet care as well. My personality is calm, attentive and reliable. I prioritize safety and clear communication with parents.
