Experience: 10 yrs
Hi! My name is Nicole. I have over 20 years of experience working with children. I was a preschool teacher for over 5 years . I've been nannying for 15 years now. Working with children is my passion. I am very dependable and outgoing. I plan structured and non structured activities throughout the day. I enjoy planning all sorts of arts and crafts, making puffy paint, making play-doh and exploring with water beads! I also like to bake yummy treats with the kids. I love the outdoors and enjoy taking the kiddos to different parks and nature walks in the area. My availability is opening up to full time beginning of June. . Unfortunately, I've grown out of my current family and they will not be needing me full time. I have been with this family since 2021 and both boys will be in school full time next year. I am looking for a full time, long term family.

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.
