A little bit about me
I love spending time playing, interacting, and building connections with children—whether that’s through games, reading, or simply making them feel safe and cared for. I’m very comfortable with diaper changes, feeding, and keeping a clean, organized environment, and I always make sure each child is happy and comfortable.
I’m patient, dependable, and able to stay calm through challenges, but what matters most to me is creating a warm, nurturing space where children feel secure, supported, and excited to learn and play

A little bit about me
my name is Thijin Bol; i am 27 and i live in Des moines, IA. I don’t have a lot of childcare paid jobs that I can referred to, however growing up African we are raised to raise our younger siblings, my grandmother ran a daycare since I was 10 years old; I help her take care of the kids and cook for them until I went off to college. I worked as a care giver before moving to new york in 2015 and i’m back now doing the same work, I just realized that I am basically a babysitter/nanny for adults. I ask myself why not become a full-time nanny instead of being a care giver, it’s a similar line of work. I love taking care of people and kids. I am a model and a fashion designer, i moved back home to focus on my fashion line while also making a live for myself not just making a living like i was in new york.
I hope reading this will make a family want to hear more of my story,
thank you!
