Looking for weekend and one-time jobs. Hi there! I go by Nixie and am excited to offer my babysitting/nanny services. With over 15 years of experience working with children of all ages, I bring a unique blend of responsibility, creativity, and care to every family I work with. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and conversational in French and Chinese, so I can easily communicate with your little ones in either language. 💫 What Makes Me Different? •Experienced & Professional: With over 15 years of babysitting experience, a former ESL teacher, special needs tutor, and now working as a preschool program assessor, I’ve had the privilege of working with children of all ages, from infants to teens. One of my specialties is healthy foods! •CPR & First Aid Certified: Your child’s safety is my top priority! •Child-Led & Creative Play: I’m passionate about play-based learning, and I bring a touch Read more of magic to every activity. Whether it's exploring nature, diving into art projects, or engaging in mindful, trauma-informed yoga, your child will have a blast while learning and growing! •Flexible & Adaptable: Kids are unpredictable (in the best way), and I thrive in environments where flexibility and creativity are key. I am adaptable to your family's routine and will always approach each situation with a positive attitude. •Mindful & Gentle: I’m passionate about mindfulness, and I use gentle redirection and trauma-informed techniques to guide children in a way that honors their emotional needs. •Approachable & Caring: I aim to build strong, positive relationships with every child I care for and family I work with, creating a warm and welcoming space for them to feel safe and supported. •Responsive & Responsible: Whether it’s a sudden change in plans or a quiet moment needing extra attention, I’ll always be responsive and responsible in any situation. I’m the dependable caregiver you can count on! Pet-friendly (&they respect my space). A Little About Me: In my free time, I enjoy learning languages, getting lost in a good book, expressing myself creatively through art and writing, and staying active with yoga and walks. I’m also a bit of a gamer, so if your child loves video games, we’ll have plenty of fun in that department too! If you're looking for a babysitter/nanny who is not only qualified but also passionate about making your child's day special, then look no further. I can't wait to meet your little ones and create a fun, safe, and creative environment!
