Hi families! My name is Nicolina DiMascia and I am 26 years old living in the Roxborough neighborhood of Philadelphia. I currently work as a special education teacher in a multiple disabilities classroom in Bucks County and I am looking for families in need of occasional evening and weekend babysitting. I have degrees in elementary education and special education from Penn State and I am on my 4th year of professional teaching. Before I began my professional career, I worked at daycares, coached gymnastics, worked as a mother’s helper, babysat, tutored, and worked in customer service positions. When babysitting, I like to keep the children entertained with crafts, indoor and outdoor activities, games, reading, and just playing! I also like to keep in mind parenting styles preferred and household procedures to maintain routine and balance in the child’s life. In addition, I value the child’s safety and health which includes Read more being present and active throughout the time I am there and preparing/providing meals and snacks for the children as requested by parents. I have been babysitting in my neighborhood for about 2 years now for occasional date nights and routine evenings as well. I can provide references and look forward to answering any questions parents may have! Thank you!
