Hello my name is Nicola. From the age of 13 I have lovingly watched kids. I am 24 now and have babysat and nannied from new born to 15 years old. As I have gotten older my love for kids has only increased the more I learn about them. For the past 3 years, I have traveled internationally helping fuel kids adventure and love for life. In my travels I was a Youth snowboard instructor, Ropes Course guide, Children's Adventure Guide, and youth forest therapy guide. Before moving around I lived in San Diego where I was a nanny for 3 families. I cooked, cleaned, drove, homeschooled, and took them on adventures. My favorite part about nannying was being able to explore with them. They see so much joy and appreciation for the little things which makes me more appreciative. Their little minds are so absorbent and it is so Read more very important that we patiently and lovingly guide them. That we instill compassion, understanding, and love into their thoughts. That we fuel their creative and support their desires as they grow into who they are. This is not just a job to me. When I commit to a nannying or babysitting job I invest myself in the children. I trust worth, patient, and will continuously try my hardest to impact your children in a positive way.
