Hello, my name is Kendra. I have been working with children for 10+ years. My key for your child and/or children is to be consistent with development, and nurturing. Activities that I enjoy are music, reading, arts&crafts, and nature walks. It is essential that I guide a child to identify within themselves as well as the world. Every child has a right to be cared for by someone whom they feel secure with. I strive to make a difference in the development of your child's life. Pay rates are negotiable. Thank You.

I am a retired school teacher and counselor. I have a BS in Education from Lander University. Have 2 Master’s degrees, one in clinical counseling from The Citadel and one in Instructional Technology from Grand Canyon University. I retired from the state in 2014, with 25 years teaching and counseling experience in Charleston, Berkeley, and Lexington County. I am looking for a family full time, part time, or occasionally when needed. I can work any hours to include over night if needed. I have nannied off and on when teaching. You’re probably too young to remember but I nannied Fran Tarkinton’s two children for many summers at Sea Island Ga. I also nannied summers with Hicks and Jane Lanier from Atlanta, Ga. I have experience with infants up to high school and special needs children. I love being around children and watch how quickly they learn. I do believe that one has to be secure emotionally before anything else. When I nanny, I make sure to follow whatever rules and routines that are in place. I am able to run errands, drop off and pick up children, laundry, light house keeping, food prep, or any need the family may have. I have no issues with times changing at the last minute at all. I receive great fulfillment when working with any age child. I have lived in Lexington/West Columbia since 2012. I have a son Nicholas that just retired from MLB 2 years ago and a daughter Suzanne that is a social worker in Augusta. They both attended LHS. Working with any family that needs helps fulfills me. I also have extensive experience in running baseball tournament so I have always been with children both in school and out of school. I will be glad to send you my resume and references. I look forward to hearing from a family who needs helps.

I’m a caring, patient, and dependable person who truly loves working with children. I’ve had babysitting experience with kids of different ages, helping with things like playtime, meals, homework, bedtime routines, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I always try to create a calm, fun, and loving environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. I love child care and caregiving because it’s so rewarding to watch children learn, grow, and smile. Being someone they can trust and feel safe with means a lot to me. I enjoy building connections with both children and families and knowing I can help make their day a little easier. I’m attentive, responsible, and great at following routines, and I always put safety first. I take pride in being reliable and kind, and I genuinely enjoy caring for others. Child care isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly love.
