Hi! My name is Mackenzie and I'm currently a freshman in college, pursuing an associates degree in Psychology. I have 4 younger siblings and have been babysitting the youngest 3 since they were born, the ones I look after are currently 5, 3, and 1. I am CPR/First Aid certified, and I have certificates in Advanced Childcare, Child Development and Family and Human Services, as well as foundational knowledge in Lifespan Developmental Psychology. I'm empathetic, responsible, and ambitious. I love doing anything that involves teaching kids to use their imaginations and creativity. Let me know if you have any questions!
Dependable Caregiver for Kids & Pets — Certified, Experienced, and Flexible
I am a motivated and responsible 16-year-old student currently enrolled in online high school, where I maintain a 3.6 GPA and have experience tutoring other high school students. Tutoring has strengthened my patience, communication, and problem-solving skills. I am currently working toward earning my driver’s license and am CPR, AED, defibrillator, and Heimlich certified for children through the American Red Cross.
I have extensive hands-on caregiving experience from helping raise and babysit my younger siblings since they were newborns, including twins and a child with autism who has anger challenges and difficulty communicating. From this, I’ve developed strong patience, de-escalation skills, and calm, clear communication. Having four younger siblings has also taught me how to safely manage and supervise multiple children at once. I cook for my family twice a week, so I’m comfortable preparing meals and following kitchen safety practices.
I also provide daily care for multiple large-breed dogs, including American Bullies, German Shepherds, and Labs, and am comfortable with feeding, exercise, supervision, and cleanup. I completed training through the Sacramento Firefighter Youth Academy, which strengthened my discipline and safety awareness. I enjoy crafts and outdoor activities and like keeping kids engaged, active, and supported. I bring a dependable work ethic, strong safety awareness, and a caring, attentive approach to both babysitting and pet sitting.
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time employment.
I can travel to surrounding suburbs/towns of Citrus Heights for work.

From Classrooms to Abroad: Dedicated Childcare Professional with a Creative Touch
Hi there! I’m a recent college graduate with a deep love for working with children. Over the years, I’ve cared for kids in many different settings—supporting a single parent with two school-aged children, helping in a fifth-grade classroom during Covid, and teaching preschoolers with big personalities and unique needs.
Childcare has also taken me abroad: I spent time in Italy as an au pair for children who didn’t speak English, and I traveled to Mexico with a professor to care for her son while she worked. These experiences showed me how much kids thrive with patience, creativity, and consistency, no matter the setting or language. I bring that same warmth and reliability into every family I work with, making sure children feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves.
