Hello families! My name is Nicole an I am a mama of 5 (4 older and a 5yr old) I have worked in the medical field for about 16+ years, along with part time caregiving, and about three years of full time nannying (I've been doing it part time longer). As a mom with two boys on the spectrum I have lots of experience with special needs. Taking care of others is my passion, it's what I'm good at. I have one dog and two cats so I am also an animal lover. I'm an open book so if there are any questions you might have feel free to message me :)
Nicole has been our family’s full-time nanny for almost 3 years. She is currently with our 3 year old (and has been with him since he was 5 months old) and our 9 month old (and has been with her since she was 1 month). She is warm, patient, reliable, and goes above and beyond what we ask of her every single day. Our children adore her and it is easy to see why - she not only ensures that they are safe and well cared for, but happy, engaged, and always entertained. Nicole is punctual, dependable, and so experienced. She will always help us in a pinch and has been extremely flexible with our complicated schedules. She helps our household in so many ways but especially helps us feel more supported. As a new mom without a village, we couldn’t have made it without her. She creates a fun environment for the kids everyday that is full of activities whether it’s reading, crafts, educational activities, taking walks, or spending the day outside or at the pool. She also helps us maintain schedules and routines when it comes to naps, meals/bottles, as well as potty training. She always sends photos and videos of the kids throughout the day and keeps us informed on how the day is going. Nicole does not just “watch” our kids, she nurtures, teaches, listens, and supports them in any way she can. Finding someone you entrust completely with your children is nerve wracking and no small task - however, we lucked out with Nicole. She is more than just a nanny, but a cherished part of our family and we cannot recommend her enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her, she is nothing short of a blessing.
