Kim
Mother
of two children, business graduate, and avid world traveller.
Kim's background includes investment banking, and corporate
training worldwide. She is certified by CanFit Pro as
a Personal Trainer, and is licensed by the Ontario Soccer
Association to coach children's soccer. She has been
coaching for the last three years, and has also been
providing advanced development programs for children
ages 4 to 9.
Kim's
interest in party planning dates back 15 years, when
she started putting together corporate events. Birthday
parties and children's activities were always the most
exciting to put together, as the finished product meant
getting to see the wonder and excitement in children's
eyes. We ask so much of children today that it is wonderful
to see them just being kids.
Kim
has volunteered at many children's projects in Canada,
South America and Africa. She has raised funds, and
contributed a numerous amount of books to assist in
reading programs.
Our
goal at Princess Parties Plus is simply to make every
birthday a special memory that every child will remember
forever. |

that thought Karina was the same age as her. She said

Karina said, "Well, I am all grown up", and the little
girl said, "Oh Karina no you're not, you are sooo
funny!" |

humour and lots of audience participation. Michael Collins

lots of fun and excitement. A show your would not want
to miss. |
