Hello! I’m Kendall, I am a current senior at Loyola University majoring in psychology with a passion for child psychology and development. I have been involved in childcare since I was 12 years old when I began babysitting, and continue working as a nanny today. Working with different familiesover the years has provided me with a deep understanding of children's needs and behavior. I have gained valuable experience working at a daycare and as an assistant teacher in an elementary school, and I have also worked with children that have special needs. These jobs have helped me in developing skills in creating engaging activities, managing classroom dynamics, and supporting individual kids learning needs. I am a 4.0 student, and my study of psychology allows me to approach each child I take care with positivity and understanding, helping me to support their emotional and educational needs. I am dedicated to creating a safe, stimulating and nurturing environment where children can thrive, and I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your family's well-being!

I’m patient, dependable, and always find ways to make activities fun and safe, whether it’s crafts, homework help, outdoor play, or bedtime routines. My goal is to make parents feel confident their kids are cared for as if they were my own family.
