Child Care Provider and Nanny - KELLY M. (User #254396)

Hi! I'm a 22-year-old 2007 graduate of Marymount University with a degree in Fashion Design who loathes her post-college job. I am based in the Arlington area, however I work in Vienna and currently reside in Rockville. So really, I am all over the place!

However, I do love Webkinz, arts and crafts, peanut butter and honey sandwiches, making elephant noises with my mouth, going to the pool, and I can read books upside down and play most sports on a 7 yr old's level. 

 I am very easy-going and flexible yet probably as paranoid about your children's welfare as you were when they a newborn. I am also extremely patient with a high-tolerance so watching Carebears, explaining WHY? WHY? to the curious, and reading Thomas the Train with CHOO-CHOO noises over and over again will not faze me!

I CURRENTLY HAVE AN OPEN SCHEDULE UNTIL EARLY NOVEMBER!!!!!

 I speak Spanish, Italian, and some French. I have worked with kids a great deal through teaching dance classes and camps in the Baltimore area. I was a private instructor of competitive baton twirling back in my 'glory days'.  I have been a member of Sittercity since college and I love it!  I have babysat so many children through this website- from 8 weeks old to 13 years old. I have also had experience with special needs children in the past. 

I am really looking for something moderately steady, maybe 3 days a week or so, but last minute and late nights/early mornings are no problem.

Please ask me for references if that plays an important role in your decision-making.  I babysit a lot and don't want to bother the same parents over and over again with references [I'm sure you can understand!].

 You can ask to see my background check if you have any concerns.  It says that I have a 'criminal infraction' which in fact was my trip to traffic court to contest a ticket [I didn't have to pay!!!].  I look at it as my 'Welcome to driving in Northern Virginia' infraction.  So if that concerns anyone, please contact Becky Kishter at xxx-xxx-xxxx.  She was the director of the Parks & Rec where I taught dance classes.  I had to undergo many background screenings for the job [please check Carroll County, MD records], and she can ensure you of my capability to work with children!

Thank you, and I hope you consider me!
