Having raised 3 happy healthy children I definitely have that mothers instinct. I believe that children thrive with much loving attention, but also with boundaries. It gives them a sense of security. Kids naturally respond to lots of praise and positive encouragement. Playing on the floor kid level is what I do. Structure in the day is ideal but sometimes you just have to go with the flow. I believe it is important to teach children how to communicate their thoughts and feelings to develop healthy relationships in the family structure. For example teaching them how to share and be a good friend, to think of others before themselves. I love outdoors, so many stroller rides and playground dates will be made. Arts and crafts are another favorite activity as well as reading time. I let kids be kids during play time. Getting messy (outdoors) is A OK with Nanny Nicole. I am into eating healthy and promoting a naturally strong immune system. I don't wear a mask and I don't take shots.
Nicole worked for our family for 2 years and took care of our two sons who are now 2 and 4. She really became a part of our family. She was respectful, dependable, flexible, and patient, and our boys adored her and learned so much from her. Our boys are very curious, and love being outside, and she was always guiding and following along on their adventures, getting her hands dirty with them! I found that she was very creative with the kids and was always encouraging them to learn or try something new. The only reason she isn't caring for my kids any longer is that she is moving. I highly recommend her, and I would be delighted to speak with anyone who is considering hiring her to work with their family. - Kelly F.
