About Nakia

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hi Families! I just moved back to the Tri-Cities after having lived in Seattle for the last 13 years. I have over 25 years of childcare experience with all ages. I am also a trained & certified postpartum doula. I come with not only knowledge, experience, warmth and compassion but also a sense of dedication. I believe that a Nanny's role is not just to care for her charges, but to work alongside their parents and teachers to foster a positive environment conducive to growth physically, mentally, and emotionally. I approach each family in my care with respect, dignity, and kindness. I always try to be proactive rather than reactive, anticipating the needs of my clients and helping them gain confidence and trust in themselves. Every family's needs are different, and it's my goal to make sure parents feel seen and heard, so they can thrive during the different stages of childhood. I have an abundance of empathy and patience, and try to find humor wherever I can.

Reviewed on 7/5/2023

We hired Nakia about 15 hours a week to help care for our 8 week old son. Nakia quickly adopted our routines and ways of caring for our baby. She was wonderful and supportive and ultimately gave me the confidence to step away for appointments, errands or just "me" time. Nakia is a true professional. She takes notes, listens and was sensitive to the things we wanted when it came to our baby's schedule. She also was able to suggest good ideas/alternatives when something wasn't working (sleeping, feeding etc.). Her experience was really comforting to me, especially in the early days with such a young baby. When I went back to work, our son went to daycare and we (sadly) no longer needed the extra 15 hours of care from Nakia.
