**Only available for occasional jobs due to my work schedule** Hi! My name is Nicole and I am a UT Austin and Texas Tech HSC alumni. I have a Bachelor’s in Human Development & Family Sciences, which essentially means that I studied lifespan human development and relationships with an additional focus on children and family structures. I also have a Bachelor’s in Nursing and have been babysitting for 5 years. I have experience working with elementary-aged children and toddlers through babysitting, after-school programs for students in Austin, and in-classroom teaching experiences at the University of Texas at Austin Priscilla Pond Flawn Child & Family Laboratory. I have also been a summer camp counselor at Kids Across America and an after-school science teacher for MADScience Austin. I volunteered in various sections of Dell Children's Hospital, previously in the Volunteer Services and Child Life department. I later joined the Children’s Comprehensive Care Clinic. I am BLS and First Aid certified. I have worked as a Community Living Specialist, helping children with serious emotional disturbances learn skills to help them remain independent and in their homes with their parents/caregivers. I have also worked with middle school and high school students at my local church for the past 3 years. I currently work as an RN in a local hospital. Feel free to message me for availability if you do not see it listed in my calendar!

Hello! My name is Cecilia, but my students affectionately call me Coach. :) During my college years, I worked as an urban sitter. After earning my teaching degree, I’ve returned to assist families in need of childcare. Before becoming a certified P.E. teacher, I nannied for a family and have since become their date night sitter. I’m excited about the opportunity to connect with more families in Austin and share my knowledge and experience with them. In my free time, I enjoy weight training and taking my senior dogs for walks. I’m also a big foodie and love discovering new restaurants.
