A little bit about me

Hi There:), my name is Kennedi! I have a background (and a passion) in working with children, as well as a customer service background! I am originally from Kansas City, MO and I am taking a leap of faith moving to Chicago. I have had my fair share of working in corporate America as well as educational facilities, and I found my true passion to be more intimate and one on one, working with children and their families. I prefer this route because I am passionate about ensuring each child receives the love, care, attention, and support. I believe in showing up as your best self which includes a healthy work/life balance! I enjoy many different hobbies! I am excited to begin my new journey of providing the support, love, care, and attention to families who need it most! I do not have a car and I know that can be a huge make or break, but I am actively learning how to drive and hope to buy a car one day soon. Thank you for taking time to get to know a little about me! ☺️
