I’m a caring and reliable caregiver with experience as a daycare assistant teacher working with children up to age 5. I’m also a mom to an 8-month-old, so I understand patience, routines, and child development firsthand. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids and am comfortable with feeding, diapering, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’m also fluent in English and Spanish.

Hi! My name is Nicole. I am a a college student looking for occasional/one time babysitting jobs. I started caring for children at age 12 so I have almost 7 years of experience under my belt. I have also worked at nursing homes since age 14 and have experience with the mentally impaired. I’ve cared for children anywhere from ages 1-13. I can do anything from diaper changes to playing catch in the yard but arts and crafts is my specialty. Currently, I work at a school with fourth and fifth graders where I am directly responsible for their safety. I also nanny a 7 and a 9 year old. Please consider me :)
