Nicole $23 per hour for 1 child
Hi everyone! My name is Nicole and I am currently pursuing a doctorate degree in Occupational Therapy at USC. OT is a healthcare profession that focuses on "occupations" needed for daily activities and routines. Occupations can include self-care activities like bathing, dressing, or hobbies that are important and meaningful to the individual . I am new to caregiving and Urbansitter, but I have experience working with kids through two different tutoring jobs I had in the past. I also interned at a memory care facility for older adults with dementia. Aside from that, I have gained multiple experiences and knowledge about working with people who have physical and cognitive disabilities through school. As a grad student, I am looking for part-time opportunities to support my studies! Looking forward to meeting you all.

I have 5 siblings from the ages of 1 to 14 so I am experienced with bottle feeding and changing diapers to helping with homework and making sure they're fed. I also work at Boys and Girls Club and I mainly work with TK/Kinders! I have always loved engaging children in fun and educational activities! I am reliable, responsible, and will always prioritize the safety of the children I care for. My goal is to create a positive and enjoyable environment for your children while you are away!
