About Nikolina
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi! I'm Nikolina, a certified teacher with over 10 years of babysitting experience. I've cared for children of all ages, from infants to middle schoolers, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child I watch. I'm currently a middle school teacher and have completed my sixth year in the classroom. I hold a degree in Middle Level Education with endorsements in Math and English as a Second Language (ESL). I also spent six summers as a camp counselor and director for preschool-aged kids through the Skokie Park District, so I'm very familiar with age-appropriate routines, creative activities, and early childhood care. I'm CPR certified, have a clean driving record, and am a non-smoker. I'm also pursuing my Master's in School Counseling, which gives me additional insight into children's social and emotional needs. I bring patience, positivity, and professionalism to every babysitting job.
Most recent review
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Nikolina care for our daughter. She is kind, dependable, patient, and someone we completely trust. Our daughter absolutely loves spending time with her and is always happy and comfortable in her care. We truly wish we could continue having Nikolina as our regular babysitter for much longer. Unfortunately, our childcare needs and schedule have changed, which is the only reason we are no longer able to continue our regular schedule with her. Nikolina has been wonderful with our daughter, and it has given us such peace of mind knowing she is with someone we trust. We absolutely plan to reach out to her again in the future whenever we need childcare and she is available. We would wholeheartedly recommend Nikolina to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and reliable babysitter. We are so grateful to have found her!
