Hi! My name is Kendra. I work as a Medical Assistant and I’m currently in school pursuing nursing. I’ve been caring for children since I was a teenager and have experience with ages ranging from infants to teens. I’m CPR/BLS certified, responsible, and very attentive when it comes to safety. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with activities, helping with bedtime routines, and making sure they feel comfortable while parents enjoy their time out. I’m mainly available for occasional babysitting and date nights, and I’d love to help families who need reliable care they can trust. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish.
