Hello! My name is Nova :) I'm a childcare professional with over 7 years of experience supporting children and families in both home and classroom settings. I have developed a strong ability to create structured, nurturing environments that support children's emotional, social, and developmental growth. I'm passionate about building meaningful connections with the children I care for. My creative background allows me to bring a unique, imaginative perspective to caregiving. Families I've worked with value my clear communication, reliability, and attention to detail. I make it a priority to keep parents informed and involved, and I'm experienced in maintaining daily logs, managing routines, and adapting to each child's unique needs. I truly believe in creating safe, warm, and inspiring spaces where children feel seen, supported, and free to grow into themselves. I'm excited to connect with families who value trust, creativity, and care.
Nova has been working with our family for the past three years, starting when our daughter was 8 months old. It would be hard to overstate the role she has played in the development of our daughter. She has been like a third parent, collaborating with my husband and me in support of our daughter through so many milestones and transitions. Nova has so many wonderful qualities, talents and skills that she brings to care giving. She is bright, thoughtful, loving, energetic, funny, honest, mindful, loyal, responsible and incredibly trustworthy. We have worked with Nova as a full-time nanny, part-time nanny, babysitter and travel nanny over our time with her and she has excelled in all of them. She is wonderful to work with as parents, and our daughter adores her. She considers her a best friend for life. They have had countless adventures and the best of times together. We give our highest possible recommendation of Nova for any family that is looking childcare.
