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.
I trusted Nikolina to care for my 16 month old during my brother’s wedding. Since he was in the wedding, she met me at the church and cared for him during the ceremony after coordinating getting him down the aisle with me. We could not have enjoyed the day without her! He can be a bit shy, but she put him at ease and he didn’t cry with her. He was happy with snacks and toys and she even stuck around to help during family pictures. She has a sweet personality and calming energy. I was so thrilled to meet her and have her there that day. I’d highly recommend her. Thank you, Nikolina!
