A little bit about me

Hi my name is Kenice I am 19 years old , I'm a Jamaican freshman in college, soon to be a sophomore. I have experience helping my grandmother when she would babysit kids at her house, which taught me a lot about taking care of children. I also work as a ride operator at American Dream, where I interact with children ranging from 5 to 15 years old. This has given me even more experience in managing and engaging kids in a safe and fun environment. I'm excited to apply my skills to help families and ensure a positive and caring experience for your children.
