About Nikole

Hi my name is Nikole (Nikki) and I'm a dedicated and passionate educator/care-giver with over 15 years of experience. My utmost priority is to foster their physical, emotional, and intellectual development while providing a calm yet playful approach in their lives. I strive to be a positive role model for children by demonstrating patience, creativity, and friendliness. I ensure open and honest communication with parents. I'm also adept at enforcing household rules to ensure a structured and harmonious environment for the children in my care. In 2009, I obtained a B. A. from Sonoma State University and studied abroad in Sweden for a year. In 2014, I received my M. A from Holy names while I was a nanny for two families. In 2016, I achieved high honors at CSU East Bay in the teaching credential program. Also, in 2022 I became a National Board Certified Teacher in Early Literacy. I am CPR and First Aid trained. Lastly, I enjoy attending local events and reading tons of literature!
