About Kellen

Hi! I'm a patient, creative, and dependable caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids and getting to know them as individuals. I have previous babysitting experience (including experience with neurodivergent children) and I especially connect well with kids who are shy, creative, or might need a little extra understanding. I'm most comfortable working with elementary school through preteen ages. I love arts and crafts, imaginative play, outdoor activities, helping with homework, and encouraging curiosity and learning in ways that feel fun and engaging. I believe in balancing kindness and fun with clear boundaries and structure, and I aim to create an environment where kids feel safe, respected, and comfortable being themselves. I have experience caring for animals, and reliable transportation! In my free time, I enjoy a wide variety of arts and crafts hobbies, as well as volunteering with an animal rescue group and as a Sunday School co-teacher at my UU congregation.
