Hi my name is Kristen, I am 23 years old and I love kids. I started watching kids when I was 14 years old for my family, but start to watch other peoples kids when I was 16. To me watching kids has been something I loved. Getting to know kids and watching them grow, and see how smart they are. Also what more they can become. I love to go parks and just play outside. I think that is an important part of a kids life. I also understand some kids are shy or just don’t like to be outside for very long. I love to work with the on there social skills and making new friends.
