I am a proud mother of two wonderful teenagers—a son preparing to join the Navy and a daughter who is currently a high school junior working on her college credits. Motherhood has given me years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to pre-teens and teens. I have over 4 years of Nanny experience ages from 0 months to teenage years. What I Offer
I provide loving, attentive care while keeping the household running smoothly. My responsibilities include: • Light housekeeping and nutritious meal preparation • Running errands and keeping things organized • Naptime and bedtime routines • Playtime, outdoor activities, and hands-on learning • Educational activities, story time, and arts & crafts • Feeding, diapering, potty training, and bath time • Creating healthy meal ideas the whole family can enjoy Families describe me as patient, dependable, and nurturing. I’m proud of being professional and easy to communicate with, and I always make it a priority to ensure children feel safe, cared for, and happy. Additional Experience
Alongside nannying, I work as a Case Manager at a mental health clinic, where about 40% of my clients are children, including those with special needs. In this role, I assist families with casework and guide children through calming, therapeutic activities such as yoga, breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, and art therapy. This has given me a unique ability to support children not only in their daily routines, but also in their emotional growth and development. Why I Love This Work
I truly love working with kids—it brings me joy to watch them learn, grow, and thrive. With my background as both a mother and a professional caregiver, I bring compassion, patience, and dedication to every child I work with. Now that I work remotely, I have more flexibility and am excited to continue caring for children and supporting families. Thank you so much for your time and consideration—I look forward to the opportunity to connect with your family!

Hi! Im Nicole, I am a professional nanny dedicated to creating a warm, nurturing environment where children truly thrive. My childcare philosophy is built on three core pillars: connection, consistency, and slowing down. I believe secure attachments are the foundation of all learning, so I prioritize tuning into each child's unique emotional needs. By maintaining consistent routines and gentle boundaries, I provide the predictability children need to feel safe and confident. Lastly, I advocate for an unhurried childhood; slowing down allows us to turn everyday moments, like meals or walks, into meaningful opportunities for discovery and independent growth. I'm also a postpartum doula, and an educated career nanny holding many more degrees and certifications. I have 10 years of professional experience and a lifetime of passion! Most importantly, I am looking for a loving family to join forces with and provide trust, companionship, respect and reliability. I look forward to support your family!
