Curiosity kills the cat, but it builds the child. Hi, there! My name is Vernicia, “Nici,” and I am 23-years old. I have volunteered in childcare ministry since high school, and have professionally served in childcare settings for 2+ years. While enrolled at the University of Memphis, I majored in Elementary Education, and worked at a local preschool. In this season, I am resting from school due to personal hardship I endured the past two school years. I work full-time as a receptionist at a local car dealership and am most available for childcare in the evenings, while maintaining an occasional and sporadic gig as a babysitter for a family of four, a family of five, a family of six, and more families to come!Throughout college, I have served in various childcare capacities. One summer, I volunteered in the recreational ministry for Bellevue Baptist Church’s one-week Vacation Bible School. Another summer, I traveled to Alaska for a one-week village trip and served alongside the teachers. We engaged with the children in the community through arts and crafts, and sports and games. Within that trip, I also served alongside teachers at a one-week teen Bible camp. At the camp, we engaged in relational and recreational ministry. I had an opportunity to co-lead a small group, and love on the Alaskan natives. Currently, I serve on a bi-weekly schedule as an assistant teacher in the toddler class at my local church. I assist my lead teacher with teaching the kids about Jesus, and take lead as needed.I am an advocate for allowing children to explore their adventurous selves, while maintaining a sense of structure and order in the home. They run? I run. They hide? I hide. They experience big feelings? I sit with them and try my best to help them process how they feel, and verbalize it. Children are malleable, and they carry a sense of innocence and joy that we [adults] lose sight of as we mature into adulthood. As a childcare server, I desire to open my heart and stretch myself to learn from the littles, and carry the attitude of a student. The presence of knowledge-seekers creates the need for teachers. The presence of a child allows me to be a good steward of meeting a need, being a light, and fostering a good relationship with the child. I have a big heart for the youth, and I will care for your children as if they were my own. #nicinee #luhhthekids

Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, preparing simple meals, or sticking to bedtime routines, I’m happy to help.
