A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Nina, I am a college student studying Early Childhood Education, and I have been working as a freelance child caretaker and nanny for 8 years. I have always loved working with kids. I was often been put in the role of taking care of my younger cousins, and it came very naturally to me. Soon, I began babysitting for neighbors and family. I have also worked as a swim teacher/lifeguard/front desk supervisor at a swim school and as a student assistant at an Elementary School for a college class. I am responsible and alert, CPR and First Aid certified. I think working with and guiding kids as they grow is so important, and I am passionate about doing just that. I want to set a good example and be a positive role model at all times. I have extensive experience in tutoring, cooking, cleaning, and I always make sure the kids I care for feel comfortable and happy at all times. I speak multiple languages, as well. Feel free to reach out to me for more information!

A little bit about me

Hi there! I'm currently available weekdays, weekends for date nights, overnights, and last minute care. I am a highly motivated and dedicated individual! In addition to my love for designing/creating clothes, I began my childcare journey 8 years ago. I am passionate about helping aid the growth of families, nurture and care for children, and help support each milestone they reach.

My employers would describe me as punctual, welcoming, attentive, nurturing and fun! I am confident I have the required skills to keep your child safe, engaged and mentally stimulated. Board games, arts & crafts, age-appropriate activities, book-reading & outdoor activities are some activities I employ to ensure this. Please don't hesitate to contact me if we seem like the perfect fit. I look forward to hearing from you! :)
