A little bit about me

My name is Madison Kelly. I am a recent graduate from The Ohio State University with a Bachelors degree in English Education and I am planning a move to Chicago in early August. I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old, and a summer nanny to the same family for the last 4 summers. I am dedicated to creating a nurturing, protective, and intellectually stimulating environment to all children that I work with. My life goal has always been to work with children in some way, and create positive and meaningful relationships. Being a nanny and babysitter is my favorite job, and I would love to continue after my move.
