Hi! I am looking to get back into babysitting to help support myself through Physician Assistant School at Hofstra University. While studying Molecular Biology at Colgate University for undergrad, I also led a club offering after school care/activities for 4th and 5th graders at the local school. After graduating in 2022, I began working as a medical assistant at pediatric office, where I gained experience treating children for the last year. My favorite part of my job was interacting with kids of all ages, so I am really excited about getting back into baby sitting! Making the kids comfortable in the office and helping them feel better has been so rewarding, so I am looking forward to giving the same care to your children. In my free time I love being with my family and friends, going to the beach, and exercising. Please reach out if you’d like to know more about me, I would love to chat!

I am a Professional Childcare Provider/Baby Homie and Artist because I am a fun-loving and free-spirited nurturer by nature. My professions are my passion and livelihood. I am athletic and I like to keep moving. I love smiling, singing, dancing, drawing, doing puzzles, building with LEGOs, teaching, playing games, reading books and taking walks. I can also make fresh baby food. I am a native New Yorker with New Orleanian roots. Coming from a family of artists of all sorts, I have a whimsical-creative style and personality. I am 42 years old, have no children of my own and I have a very flexible schedule. I am a Certified Newborn Care Specialist and First Aid/Child/Infant CPR trained and certified. I absolutely adore babies. I understand the difficulty and importance of finding trustworthy care for your baby. Babies are the best thing this world has to offer and they deserve more than just a human surveillance system. Hire a caregiver driven by love, who will engage and stimulate your child. I have over 15 years of experience with ages 0-13, I take pride in my work and the care I provide. I love being a Nanny and I do come highly recommended, with many eager references. Niecey ♡

First, let me tell you a little about myself, I'm currently in college majoring in Hospitality Management. I love kids and have babysat kids around my neighborhood but not as a paid job. I have a balance between safety and fun that will cater to the needs of the parents as well as the child. I was certified in First Aid CPR from the American Red Cross. Plus, I'm a great cook as I am studying it in college as well as being knowledgeable about the safety of food and food allergies. I also love animals, I actually thought of being a vet because of my love for them. I currently have two cats and two fishes. And plan to have more pets in the future. I love being able to be a good older role model to children as they mature by showing children that it is okay to have fun as long as you are being safe. I can be assertive in this manner while allowing them to fight boredom in playing games, watching television, making cookies; of course all after their homework is complete. So, I am eager to tend to all your babysitting needs.
