Hello! My name is Nickie and I have over seven years of experience with babysitting children, including caring for children with special needs as well as multiples. I have watched children of all ages, with most of them being between the ages of 5 & 10. I am a middle school teacher in West Michigan. I have a B.A. in K-12 Spanish Education, which I received from Calvin College in 2018. I graduated from Holland Christian High School in 2014. In the past, I have been a full-time nanny for an infant, as well as for a family with two boys, and I also spent one summer during college as an overnight camp counselor at SpringHill Camps for 4th-6th graders. Over the past several years, I have babysat for multiple families in West Michigan, including caring for multiples and children with special needs. Some of my interests include traveling, painting, Read more baking, and photography. I am passionate about children and I love to spend time doing activities or going on adventures that they are interested in. I am CPR certified for Adults, children, and infants as well as trained in First Aid. I have a clean driving record, do not smoke, and am a pet lover! Thank you for considering me, and please feel free to contact me with any questions.
