Mikayla Taeusch
Miss Mikayla is our infant two aide and has been with us since October of 2021. Miss Mikayla has shown a vast improvement since she started and as of late has had perfect attendance and always shows up for work with a positive attitude. She is always willing to work any shift we need her to and she never complains! Miss Mikayla treats every single infant like they are her own children and has created so many special bonds with the babies. We are very lucky to have her! Miss Mikayla is an avid racecar fan and spends her spare time at the race track along with her boyfriend Kyle, close friends and two sons; Grayson and Braxton. Congratulations Miss Mikayla!!

Mr. MacKinnon has been employed at Love’s Learning Loft for about a year and has shown exceptional performance and attendance! Mackinnon shows up on time every single day with a smile on his face ready to give 100% no matter what obstacles there may be. He is a “Born Natural” for taking care of children as he is Mrs. Anna Love’s son and has been helping with the family business for many years. He said his favorite part about Love’s Learning Loft is getting to work with children of all ages, having the opportunity to watch children hit new milestones is such a privilege! Mr. Mackinnon is 20 years old and plans on attending pilot school; he enjoys hiking, golfing, riding his motorcycle, spending time with his nephew and playing basketball in his free time 😊 Congrats Mr. Mackinnon!
