Spanish 17-year-old who was made famous when Justin Bieber posted her photo, saying “OMG who is this?” quits her babysitting job to sign a major deal with a modeling agency.
Cindy Kimberly, 17, earned barely $6/hour working as a babysitter in Spain. Now she has signed a deal with a top Spanish modeling agency.
The pop star made Kimberly famous after posting a picture of her on his Instagram account in December and asking “OMG who is this!”

She was subsequently discovered as a Dutch-born student living in the Costa Blanca resort of Denia who made money by babysitting for a few dollars an hour.
It was later revealed that she was picked up by Uno Models, which has offices in Barcelona and Madrid.
The prestigious agency posted a picture of the teen on their website along with the message: “Cindy Kimberly, now with Uno.”
The news was made public hours after she appeared at a fashion show in Madrid as the face of a comsmetics company. She is expected to make her catwalk debut later this month at the prestigious Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Madrid, the country's biggest fashion show.
Cindy, who is still in school, admitted last month she felt like she was “living a fairytale” when she discovered Justin Bieber was a fan.
She told a Spanish celeb website: ‘When I saw Justin was asking about me I got very emotional because I've been a fan of his for more than six years.
‘It seems like a fairytale.
‘A friend of mine often used to joke that one day I'd be one of the girls he talked about and I didn't believe her. My life's changed positively since Justin appeared in my life. At the beginning I felt completely overwhelmed and didn't know how to deal with it but now I'm getting used to it.'
Nearly a million people now follow the Cindy Kimberly on Instagram thanks to Justin's interest.
