Let’s get to know each other!

I’m Peyton, and I wanted to tell you a little about myself. I am a graduate of Bishop Fenwick High School and attended the University of Cincinnati and Cincinnati State for education.

I have always known, since a young age, that I wanted to work with kids and be able to make a positive impact on their lives and help them succeed in their goals.

I have 4 years of experience in childcare and teaching. My educational background includes a high school diploma and some college coursework. My favorite thing about working with children is having a positive impact so that they can grow and succeed! Our favorite family tradition is traveling to the beach. In my personal time, I enjoy reading books, shopping, and spending time with my friends.

I can’t wait to learn more about you and your family.

Let’s get to know each other.

I’m Kendra. I wanted to tell you a little about myself.

I have child care and teaching experience through my time at Primrose, where I’ve enjoyed supporting children’s learning and development. I’m currently working toward an Associate’s degree in Human Services and expect to graduate in 2027. One of my favorite parts of working with children is watching them learn something new every day—it’s incredibly rewarding to see their growth and excitement.

Some of my favorite children’s books are If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, which are always fun to read and share. I love celebrating holidays like Halloween and Christmas, and one of my favorite family traditions is baking cookies together on Christmas Eve. At home, we speak English and share our space with Buddy, our dog. In my personal time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and kids, attending Bengals and Reds games, and traveling—I’ve been on 10 cruises and love exploring new places!

I can’t wait to learn more about you and your family.
