About Nick

24 years old Speaks English
Hello all! My name is Nick and I'm a 23 year-old student getting my Master's in Social Work at the University of Edinburgh. I am empathetic, energetic, and love working with people! I have experience working with kids from my time as a youth rowing coach. For 4 years, I worked with children and teens age 12-17, teaching them to row crew, cooperate as a team, and build confidence. As an undergraduate, I worked as a Resident Assistant in a first-year dorm. I received training in leadership, safety, and inclusion; I went on to manage a floor of 40 Freshman, maintain Covid-19 safety during the pandemic, and facilitate community-building activities. I decided to join Care.com to find a flexible job that helps pay tuition while I complete my studies. I have CPR certification and crisis management qualifications. Through my social work program, I have received PVG clearance to work with both adults and children. I am passionate about cooking and am comfortable with meal-prep and household cleaning/organization. I love the outdoors, arts & crafts, books (I majored in English as an undergrad!) and Pixar movies! Please reach out with any questions and if you are in need of a babysitter!

Nick is providing some support for my 19 year old son, who has autism and ADHD. Nick has been professional at all times, with clear communication and highly reliable. I've been very impressed with Nick's ability to communicate with my son & support him to do things independently, in a friendly manner.
