About Nicki

Experience: 9 yrs

I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to be the "Mary Poppins" for your family. I am 41 years old and live in Lincoln Park. I am looking for a family in or very close to Lincoln Park, as I do not have a vehicle. Along, with having my Masters Degree in Elementary Education, I am CPR certified, and have eight years of experience working with children ranging from infant to school-aged. I am attentive, patient, safety/developmentally conscious, and actively engage in age-appropriate activities. I truly believe that children thrive in a nurturing environment that is structured with a scheduled routine. My household management duties are making homemade organic baby purées, healthy child friendly meals, child's laundry, and tidying the child's play/dining area.

When our full-time nanny broke her arm, we were in a lurch. Fortunately, Nicki saved the day. She was a fantastic fill-in. My four-year-old son is not very verbal, but he was calling her "Nicki" just a couple of days in. She took excellent care of my two children. Oh ... and she makes a mean grilled cheese too.
