Hello, my name is Kenna! I am gradate from University of Massachusetts at Amherst with my B.S. in biology on the pre med track. I am from Boston, MA, however this Fall(2023) I will be moving to Atlanta, GA to pursue my MPH at Emory University! I know how important it is to provide a safe and healthy environment for children. That being said, I can provide my recent COVID test results upon request. I come from a very large and close-knit family with a lot of children. My mother is also a physician and taught me CPR for toddlers, infants, and adults. I am currently, CPR, BLS, and EEC (early education and care) certified. Over the years, I have had the responsibility to care for many children in the family. This stemmed from my love for childcare. I love caring for children! I am fun, friendly, playful, nurturing, trustworthy, Read more and not afraid of hard work. I take child care very seriously, all while building a trustworthy bond and providing children with a fun, safe and comfortable environment. I have cared for children from ages infant through middle school. More recently I had a nannying position for approx. a year caring for 2 children, ages 1 and 3 years old. I have also held full time nanny positions for infants ranging from 3 months- 1yr. After graduating from college, I held a position as a preschool/ pre-K teacher (ages 2.5- 6). Childcare is something I have a passion for and hardly see it as “work.” It would be my pleasure to care for your child, and I promise not to let you down. Feel free to contact me at 617-930-3947 or email at KennaFokum29@gmail.com. I'm always ready to answer your calls or emails. Thank you for considering me! -Kenna Fokum
