A little bit about me

Hi friends! I just moved to the Bay Area from New York, where I worked as a nanny. I’m currently looking for a part-time or full-time nannying position. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I spent the past 6 years working in an emergency department—so safety and quick thinking are second nature to me!

I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for kids to learn and grow.

Whether you're looking for dependable weekday care, after-school help, or a summer sitter—I’d love to connect!

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Nicoly and I'm 22 years old. I finished fashion college in Portugal this year, and I'm in the United States, looking to learn more English and do a master's degree in fashion and then go back to Portugal and open my own business. Since I have always loved being with children, I love the fact that I can teach them a little of what I know, and see the genuine way things react, I am very protective and responsible. I have experience with children because in Portugal I took care of some in my free time. One of my dreams is definitely to be a mother.
