Booked by 1 family in Wake Forest, NC

Hi! My name is McKenzie, and I'm 19-year-old caregiver based in Clayton, NC. I have over 5 years of experience working with children, including for the past two years working part-time at a daycare, where most of my time was spent caring for 6 week olds to 1 year olds. I have found the infants and ones are my favorite age to care for. Before that, I volunteered at the same daycare for 3 years and worked with children from infants to 5 years old, gaining hands on experience with children of different ages. I am CPR and First Aid certified for pediatric and adults, hold SIDS certification, and completed a year long internship at an elementary school, where I created lesson plans, supported classroom activities, and worked closely with students and teachers in a kindergarten classroom. I'm currently in college working toward becoming a Child Life Specialist, and I'm very passionate about creating a safe nurturing and engaging environment for children. I am patient, dependable and attentive with a love for caring for children. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable, compassionate care for your children!

McKenzie was fantastic watching our little one. She’s so caring and our little one loves her. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with McKenzie again in the future!

Lots of experience taking care of cats and dogs. I have pets of my own and have looked after neighborhood animals for many years. I am responsible and caring and would love to take care of your fur babies so you can relax and enjoy some time away.

Did everything that was needed- took great care of my pets and sent pictures of their happy faces, which I loved seeing.
