A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Nicole, I’m 25 and have a genuine love for working with children. I started babysitting at 14, and have also worked in daycares, gaining experience with kids of all ages. For the past 3 years, I’ve been a teacher’s aide in a pre-k deaf education classroom, where I’ve learned both American Sign Language (ASL) and Signed Exact English (SEE). I’m currently in college online, which allows me a flexible schedule. I also run a photography business and hope to own my own studio one day. I’m patient, dependable, and love creating a safe, fun environment for kids. I can help with cooking, light housekeeping, getting children ready for school, and assisting with homework. I enjoy being a positive, reliable support for families.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Relevant experience where I also cared for children includes working in daycare settings, babysitting since the age of 14, and serving as a teacher’s aide for the past 3 years in a pre-k deaf education classroom. In these roles, I supported daily routines such as meals, learning activities, behavior guidance, and ensuring a safe and structured environment. I have experience working with infants through school-age children and am comfortable managing both individual care and multiple children at once.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Activities I enjoy doing with children include a mix of indoor and outdoor play that supports learning, creativity, and development. Indoors, I enjoy reading, arts and crafts, sensory activities, educational games, and helping with early learning skills like letters, numbers, and homework support. Outdoors, I love engaging children in active play such as walks, playground time, sports, and nature-based activities that encourage movement and curiosity. I also enjoy creating structured but fun routines that keep children engaged and safe while allowing them to learn through play.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important thought about being a nanny is understanding that you are not just providing supervision, but helping shape a child’s daily sense of safety, trust, and development. It’s about being patient, consistent, and intentional—creating an environment where children feel secure, supported, and encouraged to grow. A great nanny recognizes that small everyday moments, like routines, conversations, and play, all contribute to a child’s confidence and overall well-being.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience working with children with special needs through my role as a teacher’s aide in a pre-k deaf education classroom, where I have worked for the past 3 years. In this position, I support children with a range of developmental and communication needs, including children on the autism spectrum. I have learned to adapt instruction, routines, and interactions to meet each child’s individual needs and help them feel supported and successful.

I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and Signed Exact English (SEE), which allows me to communicate effectively and build strong connections with students. I am patient, observant, and committed to creating a structured, supportive, and inclusive environment where every child feels safe, understood, and encouraged to grow.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my most memorable moments as a caregiver was with a preschool student who was very shy and hesitant to communicate. Over time, we built trust through simple routines, games, and using sign language. One day, during a classroom activity, they signed their first full sentence to me completely on their own and then smiled so big they ran over to give me a hug. It was a small moment, but it showed so much growth and connection. It reminded me how powerful patience, consistency, and care can be in a child’s development.
