Nanny Kendra

5 years experience

A little bit about me

I’m a college student with over 5 years of experience working with children, and caring for kids is something I truly enjoy. I love building strong connections with kids and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Being able to support families while helping children learn, grow, and have fun is incredibly rewarding to me.

I have experience working with children of different ages through babysitting, swim instructing, and volunteer work. Working as a swim instructor taught me patience, leadership, communication, and the importance of safety and responsibility. My volunteer experience also helped me become more adaptable and understanding when working with different personalities and needs.

I’m responsible, dependable, and energetic, and I always aim to create a positive experience for both kids and parents. Families can count on me to be attentive, organized, and caring while making sure their children are safe, supported, and having fun.

Hi, my name is Jasmine! I’ve recently moved to the area and bring experience working in school systems in North Carolina, where I’ve cared for children of all ages—from early childhood to older students.
I genuinely enjoy working with kids and prioritize creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where they can feel comfortable and happy. As the oldest of four siblings, I’ve naturally developed patience, responsibility, and strong caregiving skills.
