Kelly M., Child Care in Dover, DE 19901 with 13 years of paid experience

I love kids. I have been nannying for the past five years and for me, nothing is more rewarding. I've always been a big kid at heart, so playing games, and arts and crafts, that's all what I enjoy doing. I graduated with a BA in Theater so I'm outgoing and good with people. I'm also currently back in school getting a masters in child and adolescent psychology. I've been dancing since I was three years old so I have the energy to keep up. When I started five years ago I never thought I would end up so passionate about it.
