About Makenzie

Hello! I am a caretaker who is a companion! And a nanny who plays! I am energetic, artistic, an avid reader and writer. I'm silly as well as mentally and physically strong. I have 18 years of paid caregiving experience. I have two years of volunteer experience at a memory care facility. I spent the last four years as a nanny in New York. I have worked with adults and children with special needs, high risk foster care teens, and have experience with dementia/Alzheimers clients. My background in foster care required me to handle high-stress situations while following strict safety protocols, escalation procedures and administering medication. I am conversationally fluent in Spanish. I prioritize building genuine rapport with clients and providing updates to families using their preferred communication style. I look forward to bringing my steady/ energetic heart into your home to support your family's needs!
