Hi! My name is Kim, and I’m 27 years old. I have always loved being around children and creating fun, safe, and positive experiences for them.When I was 15, I began babysitting three children and continued caring for them for three years. One of the children had special needs, which gave me valuable experience learning how to be patient, attentive, understanding, and adaptable to each child’s individual needs.I’m also an aunt to a 9-year-old nephew and a 6-month-old nephew, so I have plenty of experience keeping up with different ages and stages. I genuinely enjoy watching kids, playing with them, keeping them entertained, and being someone they feel comfortable and safe around.I’m caring, patient, responsible, and energetic, and I truly enjoy spending time with children! ❤️
