Kennedy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello!!! My name is Kennedy, and I'm a 22-year-old College student. I've received my AA in Communications from SMC and will be receiving my B. A. in Communications from Loyola Marymount University in December. I'm fluent in Spanish, love working out, wellness, being active, reading, and exploring this world! I absolutely love children and have a huge respect for them, as I think they're the smartest and greatest humans :) I'd describe my personality as kind, empathetic, and gregarious. I like working with kids because they are infectious! This job provides such a rewarding experience of being a part of a child's development, and it really doesn't get more rewarding! I started working with kids when I was 17 years old. In my spare time, I like to do Pilates, hike, read, watch movies, spend time with family and friends, or anything self-care related! One thing you should know about me is that I'm very flexible! My skills include being patient, a problem solver, and creative.

I strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and feel supported. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, helping with homework, and keeping daily routines organized. I’m patient, dependable, and bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate with a wide range of families.
