I am very artistic and hands on. I try to encourage healthy activities. I care to your needs as a parent and what you would be interested in for your child as you are entrusting me with their care.
“Precious watched our 4yo daughter for two weeks and was fantastic. Precious was creative with art projects and games during the day and with taking our daughter on approved adventures.”
I grew up in a family of 9 kids. My mother also owned a daycare and had a masters degree in special education. I had a great example to learn from! :) I have two children of my own. Both in College! I love to be a support to families who need occasional or part time help with busy schedules these days. This helps me as I continue to grow my health and wellness business and further my education in environmental and health science. I believe in supporting the talents and joys of each child! Mutual respect and healthy boundaries are essential in any interaction and fosters a soul to thrive!
“Julie is an excellent sitter. Our 10 yo daughter immediately took to her and they had a blast playing outside. Already invited her back!”
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! ”
Hello I'm Brianna! I'm 20 years old in the military with free time to help around! I'm very active and love to be around children and animals! I also do have my own personal vehicle!
