About Nikita

I am a South African who has been here for the past two years as a au pair. I am now furthering my studies here in Boston in elementary education. I would love to become a teacher one day who helps kids feel included and to help them strive for their dreams. I'd describe my personality as loving, funny and protective. I like working with kids because they remind me not to overthink things so much and to enjoy life more. They remind me to stay young at heart and to enjoy life more. I started working with kids when I was 16yrs old. I began by babysitting sitting for my neighbors and then tutoring them. I have since been an au pair for the past two years to three amazing kids and their puppy! In my spare time, I like to catch up with my friends and family from back home and playing with my friend's dog. My skills include making sure that the kid/s know how to respect themselves and those around them. To make sure they feel safe and are loved.
