A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Keely I am 20 years old. I am CPR and first aid certified. I have been babysitting on and off for a variety of ages of children since I was 14. I also helped teach dance lessons while in high school. I am pretty flexible and willing to work with your kiddo's schedules and activities. I love to read, be outdoors, and go on walks. I also grew up around animals of all kinds so pets are not a problem at all. I have my own car and would be willing to go do things with the kids outside of the home. I am a non-smoker and would like to work in a nonsmoking environment. If you have any questions about my work experience or anything at all I'd be happy to answer them all!
