Makenna

Hi! My name is Makenna, and I’m so excited to potentially be part of your family's journey. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Social Work, am CPR and First Aid certified, and have completed over 40 hours of specialized infant and child care training through the Department of Children and Families.

Caring for children has always been second nature to me—I grew up in a big family, started babysitting in high school, and never really stopped! I've worked as a Registered Behavior Technician supporting children with Autism and ADHD, and after college, I became both a Toddler and Infant Teacher. It was during that time that I truly discovered my passion for working with infants and supporting their early development.

What I love most about working with children is helping them feel safe, seen, and supported as they grow into who they are. Their curiosity, resilience, and joy are so inspiring, and I feel honored to be part of those small (but important!) everyday moments that help shape their world.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me soaking up the sunshine at the beach, trying out a new recipe in the kitchen, or taking a long walk. I enjoy being active but also value the calm, quiet moments spent just enjoying the people around me.

I truly believe in creating a nurturing and positive environment where children can thrive, and I look forward to building a relationship with your family!
