"Kendra went above and beyond while caring for my family! She took care of my 4, 3 and 1.5 year olds. Big job! She handled it with ease and never seemed stressed. She watched my children on weekends and for a week vacation. She always kept me updated and sent photos. She kept the house tidy and the kids happy. She would be an asset to any family that she cares for!

"Our friends saw Kendra with our toddler and said, "She's Mary Poppins!" and that's the most accurate description I can offer you. Kendra is an absolutely remarkable nanny -- she is cheerful, honest, dependable, and proactive. She shares her perspectives based on years of experience but also respecting our decisions as parents. She is calm, caring, and understanding, with an appreciation for fostering a child's physical, emotional, social, and academic growth instead of focusing on just one aspect. She created a curriculum and content, regularly printing out activity pages and looking for age-appropriate toys and books. Our child flourished with Kendra, learning self-regulation, pre-reading, and pre-math, all while building a love for learning and getting plenty of outdoor play when the weather was nice.
We parted ways with Kendra only because we moved hundreds of miles away, but we would re-hire her or recommend her to any friends without a second thought."

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

The most important part about being a nanny...
There are many important parts… letting the child/children know that they are seen, heard and that they matter, be an extension of the parents and how they want their children raised, not just teach core education but emotional understanding and encouragement to allow the children to grow into the best person they can grow into through their years.
My experience with special needs children...
I have worked with children with cerebral palsy, ADHD, autism, feeding tubes, mood disorders, agressive behaviors, speech delays, etc.
The most important part about being a nanny...
When I was caring for twin boys with cerebral palsy the speech therapist asked a question to one of the little guys and it was the first time he cognitively answered a question by saying no. It was the first time we knew that he understood enough to answer what he wanted. I “ugly” cried. I also taught him and his brother how to say words, to crawl up on their knees to learn to walk, many firsts. All the moments with the twins were amazing to me. They had so many health issues and they were the happiest children who just met every hurdle as it came to them.
