Like her seven siblings, Nina Waidacher not only plays ice hockey, she is also a talented skier . So she first competed in ski races before, like her older sister Monika , expressed her desire to bet on ice hockey. Since the EHC Arosa did not have a women's team, she played with her male school colleagues. Because she made rapid progress in this environment, she was soon appointed to the Swiss junior national team. In 2008 she played with sister Monika at the U-18 World Cup in Calgary .

After compulsory schooling, Waidacher completed a commercial apprenticeship in Arosa and attended the KV business school in Chur .
