Hi, I hope youre doing well! My name is Rikka and I have been a babysitter for the past several years, from date nights to long-term arrangements, and have also tutored and mentored kids and worked at an after school program. Helping care for my niece, who has autism, taught me a great deal about patience and adapting to each child's needs. I graduated from Cornell with a double major in Government and Psychology, where I took courses in child development, and I'm now in law school with a flexible class schedule that lets me accommodate a range of hours. I'm organized, dependable, and always on time, and I'd love to hear about your children's routines and interests so I can fit right into your family's needs and hopefully make your week a little easier!
If I could give ten stars, I would! Rikka watched our son three times while we were in Boston because she bonded with him immediately and our son couldn’t stop talking about her. She was caring, playful, sensitive to his needs, and kept us updated the whole night (by request). On our last night, our son was so sad to be leaving Boston, but Rikka’s calming personality got him back on track. On her way out, she offered to take our non-perishables to a pantry for donations and even made sure we had a ride to the airport. Her heart is boundless and I am so grateful that we had a chance to meet, connect, and that our son was in the best possible care with her. We will undoubtedly reach out to her again when we visit in the future :)
