Children are my passion. Nothing makes me happier than putting a smile on a child's face. I am 26 years old and am currently in school studying Early Childhood Education/Child Development. I have been babysitting since I was 16 and have been in love with children since I was one myself! What makes me different is my ability to relate to children. I believe that we all need to be in touch with our inner-child in order to see all the wonder and beauty in the world. When I was 17, I went to Tanzania to help kids who were HIV positive. Seeing the joy that these kids experienced under trying circumstances was inspiring to say the least. I realized then that I wanted to dedicate my life to kids. It is amazing to me that adults can have such a difficult time being happy, but to a child, it Read more comes naturally. I also have experience with children with physical and mental disabilities. Every kid I meet can teach me so much.
