A little bit about me

Hi families, I'm Kendra, a professional nanny, newborn care specialist, and postpartum caregiver with over 10 years of experience supporting children from birth through early childhood. I bring a calm, nurturing, and confident presence to the home, especially during the newborn and postpartum period when families need both expertise and emotional steadiness.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Development and Special Education (URI) and am currently pursuing my Master of Social Work, which deepens my understanding of child development and supports postpartum practices. My background includes newborn feeding support, sleep shaping, developmental milestone guidance, postpartum recovery assistance, and creating peaceful, structured routines that help babies and parents thrive.
Families describe me as warm, dependable, intuitive, and incredibly patient. I'm CPR/ First Aid certified, fully vaccinated.
I'm excited to connect with a nurturing family. Warmly, Kendra

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have 10+ years of experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and children with special needs in private homes. I specialize in advanced newborn care, feeding support, sleep shaping, and developmental milestones, and I also have strong experience supporting children with special needs.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy creating calm, engaging activities that support each child’s development. With newborns and infants, I focus on bonding, tummy time, gentle sensory play, and simple routines. With toddlers and older children, I love reading, music, outdoor play, arts and crafts, and imaginative games that build confidence and curiosity.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, consistent environment where children feel supported and confident. Building trust with both the child and the family lets me support each child as they grow at their own pace, feeling secure and understood. My goal is always to be a calm, reliable presence who helps children thrive emotionally, socially, and developmentally.

My experience with special needs children...

I have 20+ years of experience supporting children with autism, developmental delays, sensory needs, and behavioral challenges in private homes and early‑childhood/special‑education settings. I use a calm, patient, structured approach that supports communication, emotional regulation, and confidence. My background includes sensory‑friendly play, routine building, visual supports, and gentle behavioral guidance.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was watching a shy toddler finally feel confident enough to run into my arms, laughing after weeks of building trust together. Seeing her open up, feel safe, and proudly show her new skills reminded me why I love supporting children through each milestone.
