A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Sherley but everyone calls me Kuky(childhood nicknamed by mami)
I have been around and cared for children my whole life. I first started caring for my younger sister when i was 13yrs. old.
I learned to have a lot of patience(which is key especially with younger kids). I know how to change diapers if need be, when preparing meals I like to cut the food into small sizes to make it easier to chew. I enjoy taking the kids to the park or for walks in the afternoon if the weather allows it. Im no stranger with helping out with school work and homework. I also enjoy playing games especially if its a game on cleaning up or something educational. I believe its easier to try and understand children rather then punish them or hit them. I always try to build a comfortable and respectful relationship not only with the children but with the parents as well.
Having an open and honest relationship with whoever is so important bc we're always learning something and mature.
