About Nicole

Currently looking for 6-10 hours/week. Weekday afternoon preferred but can be flexible. With almost 20 years of experience as a babysitter, nanny, house manager, tutor, and teacher, I am an enthusiastic, organized, present, and loving caregiver. I love to take kids on adventures like the park, playground, museums and use those outings as an educational experience. I'm familiar with developmental milestones and know how to keep babies and toddlers engaged. Always asking children how we can make the situation better rather than trying to quiet them, I'm patient & gentle with an upset child, excellent at redirecting children in a nurturing way. I want to validate children's emotions & not squander their self-expression. I have experience supporting queer and trans children. I love creative activities including cooking & crafting and I am passionate about reading. I am clean, organized, a healthy cook & can help with errands etc.
