About Makena

Hello! I have worked in childcare since I was 16, cherishing moments fostering imagination with a bubbly and creative spirit. Over two years of nannying, one-time jobs, and parenthood taught me to understand children's needs and nurture their growth. As a weekday behavioral technician, I deepen my expertise in child development. Pursuing a childhood psychology bachelor's online at Oregon State University, I prioritize learning. Certified in Basic Life Support (BLS), I ensure a safe environment. With flexible availability from Friday to Sunday, including overnights, and my own transportation, I accommodate families' needs. Comfortable with infants to 8-year-olds and specialized care. I can offer references upon request. Outside of childcare, I enjoy family walks, reading, and crocheting. Trust and communication are paramount; as a mom, I prioritize transparency and peace of mind. Thank you for considering me; I eagerly await becoming your families trusted caregiver! :)
