Fostering a child's growth and development is my true passion, and I am dedicated to making a positive, lasting impact on the families I support. With three years of experience, I provide reliable, high-quality care for children ranging from infants to pre-teens. My approach is calm and patient, ensuring your child feels secure while I comfortably enforce your household rules. I love keeping children active through outdoor sports, but I am equally happy engaging them with educational games, puzzles, and board games. I am comfortable with pets and always follow your preferred communication method to keep you updated on your child's day. I hold CPR training and First Aid certifications to ensure a safe environment at all times. I look forward to the opportunity to become a trusted, steady presence in your family's life.

Hi families, I’m Nosi pronounced Nosee. I am an extremely happy and loving individual who is passionate about helping others. With over 7 years of experience, I have worked as both an Au Pair and a full- time nanny, providing exceptional care to children ranging from 4 weeks to 14 years old. As a vaccinated nanny, I am committed to ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for the children in my care. I truly enjoy working with children, supporting their growth.I love engaging in activities such as outdoor adventures, arts and crafts, baking, and reading, always striving to make each day memorable and enjoyable for the kids I care for. Having had the privilege of becoming a part of many families' lives, childcare is truly one of my greatest passions. Outside of work I enjoy reading, yoga, exploring new dining spots, sightseeing, and visiting places with waterfalls and beaches.

I am a part-time college student at the University of Maryland in College Park. I have years of experience working with children as well as engaging with them outside of a professional setting. I have 2 young nieces (10 and 8) whom I often babysit, drive to and from activities, and keep busy at home while my brother is working. My prior babysitting experience also includes neighbors, children of friends and family, and other relatives. I grew up a dancer so as soon as I became old enough, I was student teaching classes for pre-schoolers and eventually taught some classes on my own. I have worked individually and in groups with ages 3-16. I can confidently say I know how to best meet the needs of all ages while maintaining a fun and playful environment.

I have worked with infants ages 6-weeks to 8 months during the summers and winters that I had off from school. I have also been an intern and student teacher at an elementary school. I have multiple pets of my own including both dogs and cats. I have been taking care of cleaning my house and cooking food for many years and am a huge fan of clean, healthy, and nutritious eating. I am an extremely creative person with a passion for arts while I also love going on walks and trips to the beach. As I have experience with infants I have a knack for exposing children to different environments, tactile exposure, foods, and textures. Due to my background in education I also am able to incorporate learning into almost anything. I have been also always been able to create strong rapport and bonds with children from infancy to elementary grades.

I’m Nikol, a fun, energetic, organized and well certified person who loves both learning and teaching alike! I am CPR, AED & First Aid certified, licensed since she 16 with a clean driving record, am able to swim and have a Bachelor’s degree. I have nannied and babysat children between the ages of newborns to teens for the last 14 years. I love to help out in any way that I can and that includes babysitting. I was a full time nanny up until a few years ago and as of recently, I am doing part time sitting/vacation nannying in addition to my full time job as a flight attendant. I also currently help care for my 4 year old niece & 1 year old nephew on various days. I give my all to the children and families that I connect with and look forward to meeting new kiddos and sharing my fun stories, mediocre singing, crazy dancing and plenty of love with them! I am able to cook quick meals, do simple cleaning tasks, do laundry and run simple errands. If you have any questions regarding my profile, please don't hesitate to send a message my way! I would love to get to know your kiddos :) Thanks for your consideration! POLICIES: **Minimum Hours: I have a minimum 4 hour policy which means that I must be booked for at least 4 hours.
