    We hired Kendra to help take care of our daughter with special needs and her twin siblings. Not only did she adapt quickly to the Homecare of a child with significant motor disabilities, but she creatively brainstormed integrative and adaptive play activities that would improve our daughter's quality of life and help create a more inclusive future for all of our children. Kendra stayed with us for 5 years and decided, no doubt through her experience with us, decided to attend nursing school. Would could not be happier with her decision, as she is a natural empath and cares not just about doing a good job, but more so about considering each child's individual gifts and nurturing them to their fullest potential. Suggest a challenge to Kendra, and she will figure out a way to make it happen. Compassionate, fun, and the right personality fit, Kendra was the amazing and we know she will make other families happy when they meet her and see her in action.
