A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Nora Nyquist, and I am a dedicated nanny with seven years of experience caring for children from newborns to 12 years old. I am passionate about creating a nurturing, engaging, and fun environment where children can learn and grow. I love incorporating music, singing, and dancing into daily routines, as well as introducing kids to cooking and baking. I also enjoy taking children to the park, planning creative activities, and making childhood as magical as possible.

Beyond childcare, I am happy to assist with light housekeeping, meal prep, grocery shopping, and laundry to help support a smoothly running household. I understand the importance of teamwork and open communication with parents to ensure the best care for their children.

I am looking for a full-time, long-term position with a family that values patience, trust, and flexibility. If you are seeking a reliable, loving nanny, I’d love the opportunity to connect and see if I’d be a great fit for your family!

A little bit about me

Hi! I absolutely love interacting and caring for children. I babysat throughout high school, was around children all the time during high school volunteering with a ministry called YoungLife. In the past I have nannied for 4 wonderful families with children ranging from newborn to 5 years old, and have experience caring for a child with autism. I attended GCU and graduated with my Bachelor's in Biology this April 2023 and would like to continue my education further to eventually become a pediatric anesthesiologist assistant. I'm interested in taking on any and all childcare responsibilities- meals, play, school work, transportation, etc. I love creating fun by doing crafts, playing outside, and going on little adventures! I'm responsible, attentive, and would love to add some extra joy into your children's lives! I look forward to meeting you and your family!

I currently reside in Phoenix, AZ but will be moving back to Costa Mesa in the middle of May!
