About Nicole
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi! I'm Nicole, a warm and devoted nanny with 15 years of experience caring for kids of all ages. I'm based in Portage and happy to travel up to 30 miles to support families-whether you need full-time care, overnights, travel help, or just an extra set of hands. I've had the joy of working at The Children's Hospital of Colorado in both the OR and NICU, where I gained meaningful experience caring for little ones during vulnerable moments. It strengthened my love for nurturing and being a comforting, steady presence. Right now, I'm working toward certifications as a Newborn Care Specialist and Full Spectrum Doula. I'm also a proud mom to two awesome boys (12 and 15)-we're a hockey and skiing family who loves the outdoors! Families often describe me as calm, kind, creative, and reliable. I truly love what I do and would be happy to share my resume or references. I can't wait to connect and hopefully be part of your family's journey!

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.
