"Kendra is a fun, caring loving person. She has always been a wonderful teacher in our center. Parents always tell me their son or daughter always talk about Ms. Kendra at home. As a Lead Pre-K teacher and Lead School age teacher she runs a very structured, fun classroom. She runs the program exactly as it has been scheduled. Singing, fun art projects and lots of book reading for the themes of the week. Kendra has babysat our two daughters and they always loved it. She played board games with them and danced. She has always loved being with kids and really enjoys it and you can tell. Many times she would buy games for the school age kids on her own because they would love it. I highly recommend Kendra to work with children. She is a very detail oriented person. She will give you every detail about what they did or what she plans to do with her class. She follows directions and communicates well as well."

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Mallory. I am a mother of two (ages 5 and 7yrs). On top of being a mom for over 7 years I also have a combined total of over 8 years caring for children as a nanny and in a daycare setting. I have been trained in first aid and CPR. I have a passion for providing superb child care. I am naturally minded and holistically health conscious with a passion for providing resources to families in helping with holistic health needs. I am a trained birth doula and very comfortable caring for all ages. I would describe my care style as child-led/Montessori aligned and overall - a family helper. I can also serve as a postpartum doula. I enjoy being outdoors, reading, playing and more! I have my own transportation and do not smoke. Depending on times needed, my two children may need to attend with me (3:30pm-6:30 p.m. or when school is out)

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Alexis, and I’m a compassionate, reliable caregiver with a strong background in child supervision, early education, and patient care. I’ve worked as both a nanny and a preschool teacher, caring for children from infancy through elementary age. My experience has helped me develop excellent skills in creating engaging learning activities, managing routines, and ensuring every child’s safety and happiness.
In addition to my childcare experience, I’m a Certified Phlebotomy Technician with training in healthcare, first aid, and safety protocols—giving me a calm, capable approach to any situation. Families appreciate my strong communication, professionalism, and ability to balance fun, structure, and nurturing care.
I’m passionate about helping children learn, grow, and feel loved in a safe, supportive environment. I’d love the opportunity to bring that same care and reliability to your family!

"Alexis worked in the nursery and childcare for our Classical Conversations campus two consecutive years, until she graduated with her phlebotomy degree and moved away. She was always punctual, responsible, extremely nurturing and creative with children, and just a bright light at the campus. She watched multiple children from 8am to 1pm ages 0 to 4, and in the afternoon she would watch up to 13 children with another adult, ages 0 to 8. She always had crafts ready and projects planned for them. From there, I personally, took Alexis to be a babysitter for my three children at home on an as-needed basis. We never had an issue with her and would take her back in a heartbeat if she was closer."
