Hi! I am an experienced caregiver who has worked with children of all ages, multiples, as well as caring for children with special needs (adhd, autism, CP, mood disorders, feeding tube, etc) I believe that kids need a positive, fun, and also educational environment to thrive.

* Due to severe allergies, I can only accept a position that is based in a smoke-free home. Thank you!

When we interviewed Kendra last year we loved her instantly and knew she'd mesh well with us and our kids. She did tell us when we interviewed her that she was leaving in June of this year but we would rather have her for a short period of time than not at all. Over the past year, she's helped us go through new diagnosis and set backs that were new to us but she has experience in with past families. She's an amazing resource, support, and now a permanent family member no matter how far away she is. My kids adore her and even ask about her on the weekends. If you get a chance to interview her, make it short and snatch her up because she's the best that comes around!

Kendra is a loving, kind, knowledgeable nanny. She enjoys children and her attitude reflects this. I have had the experience to work cooperatively with Kendra with four special needs children. She is able to read children well. Kendra treats children as children first and then helps support any challenges they may have. She has experience with G tube feeds, oral aversion, exposing children to tastes, and swallowing challenges . She takes directions well and follows specific plans as needed. Kendra is also experienced with giving breathing treatments and placing special sprints on children's feet. Kendra is especially kind and intuitive with children that are non verbal or low verbal. She values communication. Kendra is willing to partner well with parents and therapists to help children to be their best. Any family would be lucky to have her as their nanny.

Kendra is amazing!! she is always on time and dependable! She handles my family with ease and that's not an easy task! She cares for my three toddlers! She cares for my children when my husband and I go on vacation and date nights. I can relax knowing she can handle it! She goes above and beyond to care for my children and home. She would be an asset to any family!

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.

Kendra was a fantastic addition to our family when we were looking for care services.  Not only was she able to bond quickly with my children, but was also assertive and specific in her expertise.  She came multiple days a week to care for my two daughters, and also implemented a preschool/kindergarten/1st grade teaching curriculum for them.  My daughters are 5 and 3, and she made specific plans for both of them.  I noticed a great change in their language and numbers skills. She taught them Spanish, helping to the recognize words by sight, and spelling, sharpening the girls' memory skills.  I was thoroughly impressed with the kind of learning my girls were receiving, but also at how quickly Kendra was able to get them to grasp and retain new concepts.  I would recommend her to anyone!  She is well-rounded as a caretaker and is qualified to teach in a structured school-like environment.  The girls still talk about her to this day. 

My girls (7 and 4) adore "Miss Kendra". We have known Kendra for 2 or 3 years now and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She is wonderful with the girls. They always have a great time when they are together. There are lots of laughs and memories made whenever Kendra is around. We love her and look forward to more time Kendra. Again, I can't speak highly enough of her and the way she is with my girls.

If you're looking for a kind, responsible, loving and a high-moral person, you can rely on Kendra. I have known her for many years and am honored to count her among my friends. She has a special chemistry with children and it's reciprocal because they absolutely love her. She's fun, very creative, and very responsible. Highly recommend her!
