About Nicole
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi! I'm Nicole, a warm and devoted nanny with 15+ years of experience caring for kids of all ages. I'm based in Portage and happy to travel up to 30 miles to support families-whether you need full-time care, overnights, travel help, or just an extra set of hands. I've had the joy of working at The Children's Hospital of Colorado in both the OR and NICU, where I gained meaningful experience caring for little ones during vulnerable moments. It strengthened my love for nurturing and being a comforting, steady presence. Right now, I'm working toward certifications as a Newborn Care Specialist and Full Spectrum Doula. I'm also a proud mom to two awesome boys (12 and 15)-we're a hockey and skiing family who loves the outdoors! Families often describe me as calm, kind, creative, and reliable. I truly love what I do and would be happy to share my resume or references. I can't wait to connect and hopefully be part of your family's journey!
Most recent review
Nicole has been our nanny for the past two and a half years, caring for our daughter O. since she was just a few months old. From day one, she has gone above and beyond, not only providing loving care in our home, but also welcoming O. into hers. Nicole frequently picked O. up and took her on fun adventures, helping her explore, learn, and grow in a safe and engaging way. When they were not out on adventures or learning at the library they were enjoying the fun activities and warm home lifestyle at Nicole’s house. We’ve also done a nanny share system with Nicole, which has worked out tremendously well. She managed it with ease, ensuring all children were well cared for and happy. Her flexibility, organization, and ability to create a nurturing environment in any setting have been invaluable. Over time, we’ve also had the privilege of getting to know Nicole’s husband, Josh, and their two sons, K. and K. Our families have become close friends, and we now consider them part of our extended family. Nicole is dependable, compassionate, and incredibly trustworthy. Any family would be fortunate to have her care for their children, and we recommend her without reservation.
