Hi future nanny family, I hope you are doing amazing! My name is Nikita, I'm 25 and originally from Germany. I am currently going to school to study Psychology and Nutrition at SJSU. Prior to my studies I was an Au Pair for 3. 5 years and have been a nanny for the past 2. 5 years. I am fully vaccinated and CPR certified for all ages. I have 8 years of experience and been full time nannying the past 5. 5 years ages 0-12. Most recently I cared for 2 families who included an 8 mont old and 3-year-old, as well as a 3 and 7-year-old. As an Au Pair, I worked with mostly 3 kids per family ages 2-9. Back in Germany, I tutored English, math, and German and was a Girl Scout leader ages 5-12. I love taking kids outdoors, reading, and doing crafts. Watching the kids grow and helping parents makes this work so fulfilling, which is why I love being a nanny. I'd love to meet your family if you think i'm a great fit feel free to send a message!
Nikita was with our family for about 18 months, starting when our daughters were 4 and 7, and we truly could not have asked for a better nanny. She was always on time (never late!), extremely reliable, and incredibly communicative. From the start, she built a warm, trusting relationship with our girls—she was loving, nurturing, and brought such a calm, patient energy into our home. She engaged the girls in fun and creative ways—doing arts and crafts, playing games, and keeping them on a consistent bedtime routine (often even getting them down early!). She cooked their dinners, drove them to and from activities, kept the kitchen tidy, and handled laundry with care—always folding and putting everything away beautifully. She also supported us with occasional personal administrative tasks, which she managed efficiently and with great attention to detail. Nikita is the kind of person who truly becomes part of the family. We would have kept her for many more years if she hadn’t left to pursue her college education. Any family would be lucky to have her—she is an absolute gem
