Sky P., Child Care in Clayton, DE 19938 with 10 years of paid experience

In high school I attended a technical school for Early Childhood Education. I graduated top of my class. I then went onto my associate’s degree in early childhood education, and I am now working on finishing my bachelors degree! My work experience has varied from running pre-k and toddler classrooms as lead teacher to nannying privately for families. I have worked with children from birth to early teens. I currently nanny for a wonderful family that has two kids. I have been with them for over two years and am sad to be leaving them, but my husband’s job is requiring us to move from Delaware to New Jersey! Working with children is my passion. I couldn’t pick a better job to do! I have background clearances and am CPR certified. I have wonderful references as well!
