A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Kylie!
I come from a tight nut family, and I’m closer to the middle in age so I’ve been babysitting since I was around 11. When I was 12, I started babysitting my coach’s kids for money but unfortunately had to stop because I started high school cheer. I have now graduated and have been thinking about becoming a nanny. I currently work at a kids shoe store and have been complemented on how well I am with difficult kids. Before that, I worked at a trampoline park and dealt with kids A LOT. I love kids and would love to work with them some more!
