A little bit about me

Majoring in Psychology and Social Work, I'm passionate about studying child development and working with kids from all ages! Since 12 years old, 9 years ago, I've had a love for caring for youth. I'm applying to get a Master's degree in Social Work to continue my devotion to youth support in communities in families. In my free time, I love to read, listen to podcasts, and play mahjong. Being outside is always a plus! I volunteer at my local canine shelter where I walk dogs.

A little bit about me

Hi there! I’m Kim — a caring, creative, and dependable caregiver with a deep love for children and supporting families. I’ve been a big sister, a foster mom, and a “bonus auntie” to many, and I truly believe in nurturing kids with patience, playfulness, and a sense of safety.

I have experience with children of all ages, including those with special needs. I’m attentive, flexible, and great at meeting kids where they’re at emotionally and developmentally. Whether it’s reading books, doing crafts, helping with homework, or just making snack time a little extra fun — I bring calm, heart, and structure into the home.

I’m currently moving to the West Loop area and looking for part-time or occasional nanny work. I’m happy to help with light tidying, meals, pet care, or anything that supports the rhythm of your family life. I understand how sacred your children are, and I promise to treat them with the same care I would my own.
