Greetings: my name is Nicole and I have been a babysitter for newborns to age 11 since high school, even during college and when I've held professional positions. I love little people and find that they're the best people. I received my degree in Social Work from UCF and I've been working in the nonprofit world for the past 10 years, I am taking a break for graduate courses and just relocated to Arizona Fall 2022. I'm comfortable in all situations and can handle multiple priorities at once, even twins :) I know CPR/First Aid and was AED Certified. Also, I grew up with dogs and have been a dog owner, so I am comfortable with dogs. Unfortunately, I am allergic to cats.

Nicole babysat for our 6mo while we attended an event in AZ. This was the first time we had someone outside our family watching our baby without one of us being around. Nicole was very professional, checked-in with us one day before to confirm all the details, and kept us updated throughout the time she was with our son, sending us pictures and text messages. I'd recommend her.

We are so grateful to have met Nicole! Nicole is extremely professional, was prompt in both her communication and arrival time, and most importantly was wonderful with our two young boys. They were immediately comfortable with Nicole and she prioritized getting to know them first thing upon meeting them. Our only wish is that we lived closer so we could use Nicole again. We will be sure to reach out on future visits to Scottsdale.

Nicole babysat for our 18mo and 3yo while we were on vacation in AZ. Our kids hadn't had much experience with new people watching them, and our 3yo was especially anxious. Nicole was an absolute pro and had her in bed and asleep 20min after we left! She was easy to communicate with, organized, and blocked off extra time for us (which we did end up needing!) I 100% recommend her and we'd contact her again if we were back in town!

Nicole came and babysat for my 2 kids. Did an amazing job of playing games and feeding them dinner. My kids had such a good time with her. I highly recommend Nicole!

Nicole arrived early and did a great job sitting with my 8-yo daughter this afternoon. My daughter was a bit sad when I left, but she cheered up and said she had a great time with Nicole. Thanks!

We were in town for a conference and Nicole came to our hotel 3 days in a row and watched our almost-3 yr old. I loved how easy-going Nicole was. The minute she walked in the room, she started playing with our daughter and I immediately knew it was a good match. Nicole had her giggling in the first minute. My daughter was all smiles every time I got back to our room and both enjoyed reporting back about what they'd been doing. I only know one person in Orlando but I will definitely be recommending that she contact Nicole for any babysitting needs.

Nicole was very responsible, reliable, punctual, and flexible. My son liked her a lot! She even worked very early in the morning. If I need a sitter again, I will certainly request Nicole again. Highly recommend.
