Hi, I'm Nicole! With 20+ years of childcare experience, including 5 years as a preschool teacher and 15 as a professional nanny, I'm dedicated to creating joyful, nurturing environments for kids of all ages. Families describe me as dependable, warm, and creative. I plan engaging activities-arts and crafts, sensory play, messy science experiments. I also enjoy baking fun treats with the kids and spending plenty of time outdoors-exploring parks, going on nature walks, and soaking up fresh air. My kiddos love spending time reading with me, taking trips to the pool and playing catch! I have my own safe and reliable car, which is ready for your car seats! I make healthy snacks throughout the day and provide regular text messages and photo updates about your child. Available full-time from July as my current family since 2021 transitions to school. I'm excited to spark your children's curiosity and support your family! Contact me for references or to chat about your needs.
Nicole is the perfect balance of warmth and structure. She provided clear boundaries and consistent instruction, all while fostering creativity, fun, and kindness. She quickly became a trusted partner in parenting, and we never once had to worry when our children were in her care. Her ability to seamlessly manage the boys and the household is nothing short of remarkable. What sets Nicole apart is her deep intuition—she has the heart and instincts of a mother, and her vigilance around health and safety brought us so much peace of mind. Whether it was sending daily text updates with joyful photos, or recounting their adventures at the park, she always made us feel involved and reassured. Even when one of the boys was sick, Nicole was there, rocking them to sleep, nursing them back to health with unwavering care and patience. On her days off, she would often check in or offer to drop off medicine or fluids. Her thoughtfulness and dedication are simply unparalleled. Nicole is family. As our boys now transition to full-time elementary school, we won’t be relying on her daily presence as we once did—but she will forever be our first call for date nights, weekends, or whenever we need a trusted, loving caregiver. Yes, even ahead of local grandparents! If you are lucky enough to have Nicole in your children's lives, know that you’ve found the nanny every parent dreams of—one who will nurture, teach, protect, and love your children as her own.
