About Makela

I am a responsible, caring, and dependable college student currently pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education. My passion lies in working with children, and I have gained valuable experience through my upbringing. As the fourth child in a family of six siblings, I naturally developed a knack for caring for younger children and understanding the significance of patience, responsibility, and creating a nurturing environment. Throughout my academic journey, I have had the opportunity to work with children in various settings. I have supervised and assisted younger children in after-school programs, ensuring their safety and engagement. Additionally, I have helped my siblings’ daycare teacher by supervising activities, assisting with playtime, and providing basic needs support. These experiences have equipped me with the skills to create fun and engaging learning experiences for children while fostering their growth and well-being. Growing up in a large family has provided me with everyday childcare experience, making me comfortable in childcare settings. As a college student studying Early Childhood Education, I continue to expand my knowledge of child development, communication, and age-appropriate care. Through these experiences, I have honed my patience, responsibility, teamwork, and ability to create a nurturing environment for children.
