A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Kendra! I’m a 15-year-old caregiver who brings a bright, playful spirit to every visit. Growing up as the oldest among many siblings, cousins, nieces, and nephews, I naturally developed a love for children, which has always been a part of my calling. Crafts, story time, and backyard adventures are my superpowers! While I’m happy to care for children of all ages, I have the most experience with ages 1 –12.

A little bit about me
Versatile hard working individual with the abilities to make any client happy. Though I’m young I grew up in a family where I was forced to learn what being a caregiver is at 9 years old. I’ve taken care of babies, children of all ages and even my elders. I’ve had many jobs that consisted of taking care of children and elders, teaching them, feeding them, or helping them. I am a great cook, I love cleaning, very organized, fun, and an easy learner. I have children of my own as well so I understand a mother needing help to work their job or get a break. It’s very difficult when you don’t have the support needed. But with me all those issues would come at ease. I have reliable transportation so taking children to school, to parks and other family friendly outings, running errands, grabbing groceries to prepare a meal, is part of my specialty. I can do hair, I can recite most lyrics to most children songs, I love teaching new things, and I’m a protector. I’m the perfect nanny/caregiver.
