About Nicole
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi there! My name is Nicole and I have been a professional nanny for 14 years. I live in Portage, and I am willing to travel up to 30 miles. I have been a nanny to families for long periods of time, temporary, over-nights, and stayed in home with children while their parents travel. My love and experience also stretches over to my time at The Children's Hospital of Colorado working in the OR, It was gratifying playing a role in aiding children to recover from illness, and injuries. Curently I am in the process of obtaining my New Born Care Specialist and Full Spectrum Doula licensing. I love being a nanny and a mom to my two boys 10 and 13, I love life and what it has to offer, I am kind, nurturing, creative, communicative, and attentive. I am happy to send my resume, references or more about myself. I hope to meet you soon, thank you for your consideration!

Nicole has been an incredible asset to our family. She has been watching my daughter from the age of three months, and I have always felt confident that my baby was safe, cared for, learning, and having fun with her. Nicole picks my daughter up in the morning and takes her to her home where they have fun activities, out to parks for nature walks, to the library for story time, and out for play dates with other nannies and kids her age. She brings her home in the evening and I can see that she has had fun and been learning all day. Nicole frequently sends me pictures and videos of their adventures and I can't help but be jealous of all the fun they're having while I'm at work! Probably the best proof of Nicole's care for my daughter is how excited she gets to see her every time. Once, after we hadn't seen Nicole for about a week, she came to the house and as soon as my daughter saw her she lit up and practically burst out of her own skin she was so happy to have her back again! (A week is a long time when you're so little!) Nicole has been flexible, available, communicative, and (most important) loving. My family situation is changing and we won't be needing a nanny anymore, and the only part about that is in any way sad is losing out on having Nicole as part of our lives. In short, it has been a relief for worried mommy mind to know that my baby is with Nicole when she's not with me.
