Meet Kennedy

I have been babysitting children ages 0-12 for about 8 years now. I’ve work with twins, children with Autism, as well as integrated with families to support their needs. My love for kids came when my little sister was born and I helped raise her. From there I became a children's camp counselor at a summer camp and then continued babysitting during the school year. I’ve just finished my masters degree in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University College London and hold a B.S. in psychology from Penn State. I have done extensive research on adolescence development and have worked in a research lab studying childhood anxiety.
