Well hello there! I'm a career nanny currently caring for two little rugrats in Nashville, Tennessee. I absolutely love working in the world of children, and I'm passionate about connecting with other members of the vibrant nanny community. I'm a travel junkie, coffee addict, and children's book fanatic. Come share the love!

I am a career nanny of three littles outside of Philadelphia, PA. Working with little humans is my dream job, and it is an honor to be a part of a community who feels the same way! Other than my job I love tea, reading, succulent plants, essential oils, and traveling! Thanks for being here, it's so great to have you as a part of our community!

Mackenzie here! I popped on live today (for the FIRST time ever) to share about why I LOVE this box! ••••• First off, this is not an ad and is not sponsored at all. I just ADORE these boxes! @ivykidskits has done a phenomenal jib putting together engaging themed kits! ••••• Why I love them: They are age appropriate for multiple age groups. They are literature based with personalized comprehension questions. They have activities including fine motor, large motor, science, and art. They encourage (or can be made into) outdoor activities and are great for nature based learning. They are FUN! They’re reasonably priced for a box that entertains three kids. They are play based learning. That’s the biggest win! ••••• If you’re looking for a FANTASTIC summer activity, invest in this box! I also love that they’re a small company run by a mom who used her education degree to create something beautiful. Support it if you can!

It’s Monday. Let’s make Monday a little extra magic by being a little extra kind. Hold a door open. Do something special for your charge. Help your charge by coffee for the person behind you. Write kind messages in chalk at the park. Smile and say hello when you pass people. Throw that kindness around! I teach my littles it makes a day magical to bring joy through kindness. That’s what we’re focusing on today. Hope we’ve made you smile too!

The true show stoppers. Poised, full of joy, and happy to share smiles with the crowd. So fun to watch these littles! Their parents are doing a wonderful job! And I’ve heard they have a fantastic nanny too! 😉

This is my favorite moment so far. And an amazing message of love being the way above all else. “Imagine community where love is the way... imagine this tired world where love is the way.” Yes, I’m crying. Favorite royal wedding so far!

I’m up this early for history, her dress, and to see a gaggle of littles all dressed up. Happy Royal Wedding! ••••••• Photo by @abcnews

To all the nannies out there on a Friday sipping their survival coffee: cheers! I see you doing your best when you’re tired. I applaud your patience. I see your creativity on rainy days. I see you hauling to activities when you’d rather hunker down and stay in today. Basically: I see you putting the kids developmental and emotional health first. Yes, that is our job. But, this is a humble acknowledgement that sometimes that is HARD. Way to go! You’re changing lives.
