My name is Kendal, and I recently moved to Montréal from the United States. I grew up in a small town surrounded by a close-knit family, which taught me the value of community and caring for others. As a child, I was always the teacher’s pet in elementary school and loved helping classmates—something that naturally grew into a lifelong passion for working with children. My interest in child development became even stronger when I began working at an ABA clinic for children with autism, where I gained hands-on experience supporting kids with unique needs, encouraging communication skills, and celebrating every milestone. I love planning fun, creative activities like crafts, story time, and outdoor play, while also maintaining safe and consistent routines. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and happy to assist with homework, light meal prep, or bedtime routines. I’m excited to bring my positive energy and caring nature to a new family here in Montréal and to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn and thrive.
