About Me

Hi there! My name is Makena, and I have just moved from Vancouver, Canada to Edinburgh to do my masters in occupational therapy. I am a bubbly, caring, and patient individual with a passion for childcare and an education in child development. I worked as a nanny for 3.5 years for a fantastic family with young children (currently 2 and 4 years old) while I completed my degree in Sociology and Family Studies at the University of British Columbia, and transitioned into a full time role after graduating. Before nannying, I worked as a swimming instructor and lifeguard for over 3 years where I worked with children of all ages and abilities. Currently looking for part-time nannying jobs or occasional babysitting positions.

My Experience

Nanny (January 2022-January 2025) Vancouver, Canada
Swim Instructor (Dec 2017-March 2020; April 2021-October 2021) Vancouver, Canada

My Qualifications

I worked as a nanny for over 3 years and have experience caring for children as young as 3 months old. I also did my bachelor's degree with a minor in Family Studies so I have a very strong understanding of child development throughout physical, social, and emotional domains. Additionally, I have extensive first aid training from my time as a lifeguard.
