Nicol 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nicol 😊 I’m a caring and responsible babysitter, and I’m also a mom to a 3 year-old boy, so I truly understand kids and their daily routines, emotions, and needs. I work as an assistant teacher, I help with kids’ learning, playtime, and daily activities. I have experience with children ages 5–9 and I really enjoy spending time with them. I love doing arts and crafts. I also enjoy taking kids to the park, going on walks, and doing outdoor play so they can stay active and happy. I speak Spanish fluently and can also help with basic bilingual learning if needed. I can also help with light household things related to the kids like preparing snacks, cleaning up after playtime, helping with homework, and keeping routines organized. I can do school drop-offs and small errands when needed. I also really love animals. I’ve had dogs and cats before and even cared for multiple pets at the same time, so I’m very comfortable helping with pet care too. I’m very patient, warm, and responsible. My goal is always to make kids feel safe, happy, and cared for while also having fun and learning. Looking forward to meeting your family! 🤍

“We absolutely love our babysitter! Maddie always gets so excited when she knows she’s coming over. They spend so much time doing fun crafts and creative activities together, and it’s clear how much thought and effort she puts into making their time special. She’s reliable, caring, patient, and truly engages with Maddie instead of just supervising her. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such great hands.”
