Hi! My name is Nina LeFlore. I have a servants heart and would love to come alongside your family during this season of my life. I have a BA in Public Management, Leadership, and Policy and two minors — one in Pharmaceutical Sciences and another in Integrative Approaches to Health and Wellness. I am a former athlete and captain of the Ohio State women’s soccer team. After college I took a year off and served for a ministry belonging to the Tim Tebow Foundation as a direct care role for survivors of human trafficking. I enjoy any physical activity/ sport, I love to learn and teach, I love to love and serve others, and I am a believer in Jesus!

I have returned back to school and I have availability in the evenings on MWF and all day on Tu, Thu, Sat.

I am CPR and First Aid certified.

Blessings,

A little bit about me

My name is Ma’Kia and i am 15 years old. I am a very mature, and i worked for a daycare facility for 3 years straight , i quit because i was only getting paid $100 a week and i was watching over 12 kids as well as cooking, and never got a raise. I was working full time day and night from 2-11 pm no breaks. I am very hard working and trust worthy. I loveeee babies so much especially the chunky ones, babies love me as well as kids i’m active, and fun to be around ! I have taken CPR classes but i do not have my certification because of my age, but i took them for one year 🥰. I know a lot about baby sitting and if you want pictures of me and the kiddos when i did work just inbox me i’ll be happy to show you! I also cook all the time i really enjoy it.
