Booked by 11 families in Paradise Valley, AZ
Hello! My name is Nicole and I absolutely adore children and the elderly. I have been babysitting now for the last few years and have lots of experience caring for my grandmother. I love animals and have 5 pets of my own! I am all for Christian values in a household and will support any rules, education, & activities you choose to implement in your children’s upbringing. I live an active lifestyle and would enjoy playing sports, going on walks, reading, and doing educational activities if needed. I have some veterinary experience as well, which will help with pets. I also have my cosmetology license, so I’m able to maintain haircuts as well. With a very open and flexible schedule, I just ask for no Sunday mornings as I’ll be in church. If you choose to hire me, I promise to uphold strong Christian values, give attention to detail, demonstrate multitasking & prioritization skills, and give lots of enthusiasm and sensitivity. I believe that being a good listener, having patience, and showing respect to children goes a long way when it comes to communication & discipline. I have a very caring and nurturing heart. I appreciate your consideration and the opportunity to assist your family. (Payment up front required for first time, and additional $5-20 for gas & drive time depending on distance.)
