Hi, I'm Nina. I graduated with a Bachelor in psychology and criminal justice from Simpson College in Iowa. I have been caring for children for 10 years as a babysitter and as the oldest of four siblings. The youngest now is 12. I have tons of experience with kiddos 13-18 year olds. I have experience with working with kiddos who were on the autistic spectrum. I have also volunteered for VBS and teaching at church for 3 years for kiddos ranging from 4-13 years old. I love being able to see all the kiddos I've watched over the years grow and continue to learn more about themselves! I love having fun with kiddos, but also staying safe and vigilant. I love watching Bluey, arts and crafts, listening to music, just dance, etc. I'm available on weekdays until 6:00 p.m., and I have the flexibility to work some weekend days. I am certified in CPR and basic first aid. I also know a little bit of ASL and Spanish, but not fluent. I am also okay with pet sitting if needed. I am happy to provide references if needed. I approach each child on an individual basis and can't wait to get to meet and help teach your children.
