About Nicole

Experience: 12 yrs

Hello! I have over 10 years of experience working with youth. This includes nannying ages 5 months to 7 years, one year in AmeriCorps service as a teacher, 3 years as a summer camp counselor, and working as a Summer Camp Director. I am first aid & CPR certified and have experience with ADHD and children on the spectrum. Whether it's reading books, going to the park, or building a blanket fort, I will make it a fun and safe time for your little ones. With babies, I find it helpful to stick to a consistent schedule of nap times, meals, tummy time, play, and plenty of fresh air time. For older littles, I prefer a Montessori style method where they are involved in daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning up toys, and putting away dishes to foster independence and build motor skills. I also have an arsenal of crafts and (washable!) paint supplies to get their creativity flowing. I am also a classically trained singer and have been known to randomly burst into song at any moment!

Nicole watched our little girl from the time she was 5months old to 18 months old on a part-time basis. She was always always on time, easy to reach and coordinate schedules with. Our daughter developed a very special bond with her over the last year and always looks forward to her walking in the door. Nicole planned activities for them to do on most days like taking her to multiple parks, splashpads, painting, and playing games in the yard . She was always singing songs with our daughter and was engaged in playing with her. I would definitely hire her again!
