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!
