As a nurturing and experienced childcare provider with nine years of experience, I am passionate about creating a safe and stimulating environment for children to learn, grow, and thrive. Originally from Brazil, I worked as a teacher before moving to the U. S. as an au pair, caring for children in two families. After completing my program, I became a full-time nanny for two years, further developing my childcare and educational skills. My patient, calm, and friendly demeanor helps me connect easily with children and families. I believe in open communication and provide regular updates to parents while respecting household rules and routines. I engage children in fun and educational activities, including outdoor sports, board games, and creative play. I also enjoy teaching skills like swimming, drawing, and problem-solving. With my background in education and hands-on experience, I strive to create a nurturing, engaging, and enriching environment for every child in my care.

Nicky was our au pair during 2021 and 2022 and has been our favorite babysitter ever since. She's been wonderful with our two boys (9 months to 6.5 years). Strong English skills, extremely responsible and reliable, great instincts, energetic, and FUN. We have worked with several childcare professionals and Nicky is our family's top choice. Highest recommendation!
