Looking for Help with Nidalee Jungle

I cant seem to get off to a good start with Nidalee. I don't know if its the order I'm picking my spells, items, or just bad play. I cant seem to kill anything w/o help and I have to B after almost every camp. I end up falling way behind and I'm level 10 or so before I'm of any use to people again. I usually throw spear, set trap, go cat and pounce, swipe, takedown. rinse and repeat as needed. but the first 3 or 4 levels wreck me so bad. I have jungles many other champs and have never felt this weak in the start of a game. I have tried starting with frog, blue, rock guy, nothing seems to matter. Any help on what I am doing wrong would be appreciated. Add me in game and we can do a couple games and Skype if that would be easier to show how its done. Thank you
