Hello my name is Nataliha Oleniczak. I am a student at Heartland College and I play softball. I am from Wisconsin. I love kids and I have 5 years of babysitting experience!!

Mar R.
- 2 years paid experience

During my undergraduate studies, I worked with children who needed support in every way, and that experience deeply shaped my love for caregiving. It showed me how children are pure in love, mind, and spirit, and how meaningful it is to be part of their growth. All of my undergraduate internships and jobs were focused on working with children—caring for them, showing compassion, engaging in play, and supporting them through important emotional and developmental moments. Here in the United States, during my first year I worked as a nanny for two children, which gave me hands-on experience in daily care and routine management. After that, I transitioned to a position caring for an elderly person, which strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to provide attentive, individualized care. I consider myself responsible, patient, and dedicated, and I enjoy creating a safe and warm environment for those I care for. -Always work with a digital planner so that everyone has the correct information. - I can support you with any extra activities you may need. - Different activities for your little ones' development. --- 1.Punctuality 2.Willingness to adopt new routines 3.Teamwork 4.Communication and constant monitoring of plans. 5.
