About Nicole

Experience: 20 yrs

Nurturing children comes naturally to me. With 20 years of experience, I offer families a calm, creative, and reliable childcare option. My passion lies in fostering growth and making a positive impact on young lives. I have some college education, plus First Aid Training and CPR Training. I also completed Early Child Development Coursework. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and happy to communicate with you using your preferred method. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children and willing to help with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision. Ultimately, I seek to provide care with a personal touch that allows your child to thrive.

Nicole I have known Nicole for approximately 20 years We started as co-workers and fast became friends. The reason we became friends is honestly due to her authentic caring personality! She cares about who you are. About what you are needing and then goes above and beyond to help you in anyway needed. She was a single Mother to her son but also worked hard to give him the best life. She opened her home to two little girls who had just lost their Mother and their Father shortly thereafter. She went on to adopt these two! I would ONE-HUNDRED percent trust Nicole with anything. I would leave my children (if younger) and all Three of my Grandchildren in her care for as long as I needed. I would be reassured that they would not be on their screens and doing interactive play along with her. She loves teaching, she loves crafts, she loves reading and cooking. As I stated, Nicole is AH-amazing and I know that no matter what you need her for…..she would give it all she has and you would never regret working with her.
