Hi! My name is Nici, and I am 23 years old. I enjoy working with children, and have served in childcare settings since late high school/early college. I began babysitting when I was a preteen. Unlike most sitters, I was raised as an only child. My love for children stems from a desire for sibling companionship, and a desire to someday raise a big family. I have always exhibited a motherly nature, and treat other people’s children as my own. I am new to the housesitting experience, and began in summer 2026. So far, I have house-sat/pet-sat for two families: a family with two cats, and a family with a dog. I have a third opportunity to housesit for a newlywed couple (their cat) in mid October as they travel for their honeymoon. Initially, I began volunteering in the children’s ministry at my former ministry for 3-4 years. At this ministry, I worked with ages 4-13, and engaged with them through games, arts and crafts, holiday parties, bible lessons, you name it. For the past two years, I have professionally worked in a childcare setting for a local ministry with ages 0-9. I tend to the children in outdoor and indoor play, stations, meal time, and dance parties. While enrolled in university, I pursued Elementary Education, with the hope to become a teacher. I completed over sixty hours of the program. For two school years, I worked at a local preschool in Memphis with ages 0-5. At my current ministry, I serve on a biweekly schedule with the toddler class. In the past, I have extended babysitting services to families with multiple children: a family of four, a family of five, and a family of six. I am currently pursuing CPR and First-Aid certification. I work full-time at a local car dealership, with availability to extend and maintain consistent childcare services on weekday evenings, and over the weekend, along with housesitting/petsitting. I would love to build a relationship with your child(ren), pet(s), and become a flexible, occasional, and part-time help to better serve the needs of your family!

“Nici both housesat and petsat our two cats while we were gone for a week-and-a-half out of the country. We know Nici through church and trusted her with our babies (one is a 16-yr. old senior cat), and she made sure they were fed, watered, medicined, boxes scooped, given treats, and loved on. She also house and petsits for our church's pastors regularly as well. My sister and brother-in-law will be using her services soon, too, to watch their senior cat while they're out of the country on their honeymoon. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nici to watch over your loved ones, furry or human.”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
