I have lots of experience with kids--I interned at a speech therapy clinic in Spain working with 5-6-year-olds, spent a summer as a camp counselor managing 30+ kids at a Science Museum, and was a bilingual classroom tutor for high schoolers. I later became the babysitter for one of my campers and I had so much fun with them!
