Hi, I'm Kenna! My husband & I just moved to SC to care for my grandpa. Before we ventured to the sunny south, I was in my 5th year of teaching Kindergarten Prep. In 2020, I received a Master's in Early Childhood Education and am licensed to teach PreK to 2nd grade. I wrote my own curriculum & have no shortness of creative ideas for engaging children in learning, playing, and imagining. I spent 10 years working in education, but my experience with kids goes way beyond that! At the age of 11, l began caring for my 7 younger siblings; I have spent thousands of hours babysitting for dozens of families; and some of my summers have been spent nannying infants, preschoolers, running day camps for elementary kids, and more in between! For 2. 5 years, | was the director of the children's ministry program at my church, as well! Kids are what I'm best at! So l am in search of some child care opportunities while caring for my grandpa.

I had the pleasure of working alongside McKenna as her classroom aide during her many years as a preschool teacher, and I can confidently say that she is an exceptional caregiver and educator. Her ability to connect with children is truly remarkable, as is her warm and nurturing approach to every child in her care. McKenna consistently created a positive, engaging, and safe space where children could thrive. She has a natural gift for understanding children’s needs and supporting their emotional, social, and developmental growth. Her creativity, patience and ability to create fun experiences, paired with her strong sense of responsibility, make her an ideal caregiver for children of all ages. Having witnessed her dedication firsthand, I know she will bring the same energy, compassion, and expertise to any caregiving role. Families can trust that their children will be in loving, capable hands with McKenna!
