Hello! My name is Kim, instead of telling you I love children and feel capable in working with a variety of children from a variety of backgrounds, I would love to show you! Experience: I started babysitting at eight years old. I was taught how to care for, nurture, and love children through my mother. 22 years later I have had numerous opportunities to care for children. I have worked with elderly patients in a nursing facility and worked as a caregiver for eight disabled adults. I also worked as a trainer in a work program for people with varying disabilities. I have worked with and been in charge of youth groups on many occasions through our church. For seven years, I volunteered on our local ambulance service as a first responder. I have administered CPR, I have assessed medical needs, In all of these opportunities I have learned, I Read more have grown, and I have loved the people I care for and serve. and have provided emergency care. Beliefs: A healthy, stimulating, and inspiring environment for a child is essential. I believe each child is different. I believe in sparking creativity. I believe in not just talking to a child, but listening to their words and their body language. I believe a child should have at least one good belly laugh every day! I believe a child who is happy sings and their eyes sparkle. I believe we can work through bad days. I believe a child is a gift from God, and their beauty should be embraced!
