About Nilija

I'd describe my personality as Experienced Compassionate & Safety Conscious I love helping children learn, grow, and feel confident in a safe, positive environment. With 18 years of childcare experience, CPR certification, water safety and rescue training, and real-life emergency response experience including successfully performing the Heimlich maneuver to save an adult. I'm looking for a job that allows me to make a positive impact in children's lives while building meaningful relationships with families. I value open communication, trust, and consistency, and I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children can learn and grow. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time outdoors, staying active, reading, volunteering, and continuing my education. As an aviation student and pilot, I also enjoy flying and learning new skills. I love activities that keep me engaged, creative, and help me grow both personally and professionally.
