Hi! Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile and learn about me! I currently work in banking full time, but grew up around kids and I enjoy spending time with them. I spend a lot of time in college and after college babysitting for multiple different families with different ages! My availability is some evenings and some weekends. I’m looking for jobs that could be weekly and/or as needed. Babysitting is something I have always enjoyed and I miss being around littles!

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.
