Why is this kitten trying to crawl in my ear?

My daughter rescued a kitten from two dogs, and, of course, brought it here. The baby is a case! She has a LOT of personality (Any typos from here on out are HER fault) Anyway, she’ll stick her nose in my ear and start purring loudly and licking the inside of my ear…and she’ll try to push her nose in further and further till I pull her out…why is she doing that??
