A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Nyobi Jenkins. I began my babysitting/nanny career around 10 just babysitting for my mom and her friends. As I grew, I continued to babysit through high school to make odds and ends money. More recently I was an Aupair (nanny who specializes in language development) in Italy for about 3 months. I am very passionate about children and the well-being of them. I would love to make this a professional career! Thank you so much!

A little bit about me

I've found that kids are open to new things and experiences because they are still learning life skills and morals. I still remember all of my childhood nannies as a kid and how they made a difference in my life and I'd hope to do the same for another family.
I'd describe my personality as creative, patient and emotionally intelligent. Childcare jobs have taught me so much about how pressure from daily life can affect how a child will act. I think I could be a fun presence while also being a reliable caretaker.
I'm a certified nanny through American Red Cross so I am trained in all basic skills needed to care for a child.
I'm looking for a job that I can and have a 5 day full-time work week. In my previous job I worked at Coldstone creamery in gahanna for 3 years half of the time as a manager. I mostly worked nights so I'm looking forward to more structure for my next job. I'd also like to save enough money to eventually start going to school and paying for it myself.

A little bit about me

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,
Nina.
