Hi! I’m nadia, and I’ve been babysitting for about 5 years now. I truly enjoy spending time with kids — whether we’re playing games, doing crafts, or just hanging out. I’ve looked after children of all different ages, and I always try to create a fun, safe, and supportive space for them.I’m someone who’s responsible, patient, and easy to get along with. I know how important it is for parents to feel confident leaving their kids with someone they trust, and I always do my best to be that person.I can help with things like homework, bedtime routines, meals, and light cleanup if needed. Babysitting isn’t just a job for me — I really enjoy being around kids and watching them grow and learn.

I’m CPR + First Aid certified, QPR trained, and currently finishing my psychology degree with a minor in studio art. I love using art, sensory play, and outdoor activities to help kids thrive.

With two years of hands-on babysitting experience, I’ve had the joy of working with children of all ages, and each family has taught me something new. From soothing infants to guiding curious toddlers, I’ve learned how to be patient, adaptable, and dependable while creating a safe and loving environment where kids feel happy and protected. I consider myself a nurturing and supportive caregiver who always puts a child’s well-being first. Beyond childcare, I also have experience with cooking, light cleaning, and helping maintain an organized home so your day runs more smoothly. I’m also comfortable handling pick-ups and drop-offs, which allows me to support your family’s routine with ease and reliability. Babysitting isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I love building real connections with children, encouraging their growth, and offering a calm, positive presence. I would be excited to bring my experience, enthusiasm, and caring personality into your home.
