My name is Nadina. I am the owner and administrator of Jump Start! I have lived in Geauga County my entire life and have over 30 years experience working with children. I have a bachelors degree in early childhood development from Kent State. I have been an in home child care provider, preschool teacher, administrator, substitute teacher and most importantly, a mom. I am married to my wonderful husband, Michael. We live in East Claridon and have 3 beautiful children; Mekaylie, Nathon, and Maliah. In my free time I enjoy teaching, creating activities for the preschool, shopping, cooking, fitness, spending time with family, organizing and being creative!
I am a graduate from Berkshire High School, and I am currently enrolled at The University of Cincinnati to receive my Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I have been working with children since I was about 13, and couldn’t imagine doing anything else! My love and passion for teaching grows every single day. I feel so fortunate to have been able to begin my career alongside my mom, who is my biggest role model/mentor. I love the excitement and energy that comes with working with preschoolers. Seeing their smiling faces, exchanging laughs and big hugs, and watching them learn and grow everyday brings so much warmth to my heart. Outside of teaching, I do a lot of babysitting and housesitting for several local families. I also enjoy shopping, crafting, going on long walks, spending time with my fiance, John, and being around all of my family and friends.
I am a lifelong Geauga County resident and recently built a house in Claridon.
I have been married to my husband Rob for 12 years and we have two sons. Logan and Bentley. We have two cats and 20 chickens!
I Started babysitting at 12 years old and have worked nannying, daycare, Jump Start substitute and most importantly gained experience being a mom!
I love practicing yoga, hiking and spending time with my family. I am so excited to join the Jump Start team with teachers I have grown to love!
