A little bit about me

Hi!
I was born and raised outside of St. Louis, MO, splitting my time between our home in the suburbs and family farm. I moved to Chicago when I was 20 to finish college and loved it so much I never left. My husband and I have been together 9 years, married for 3, and just this year purchased our first home and welcomed our first baby.
As of now, I have about 10 years of experience nannying and can’t imagine doing anything else. I feel that by doing my small part helping families, I am making the world a better place for all of us. It is busy and loud work - it can be chaotic, and usually very messy - but it is incredibly joyful and I love it!

"Nicole was dependable, patient, caring, and highly attentive to each of my children’s needs. She consistently created a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment, balancing responsibility with warmth and creativity. Our children developed a strong bond with Nicole, and we always felt confident leaving them in her care. In addition to daily childcare responsibilities, Nicole helped with meal preparation (where she often included the children), homework assistance, transportation, and light housekeeping. She always handled tasks with professionalism and initiative. Nicole communicated clearly, arrived on time, and showed excellent judgment in every situation. What stood out most was her genuine care for our children’s emotional and developmental well-being. Nicole brought positivity, calmness, and reliability to our home each and every day. I highly recommend Nicole without hesitation for any childcare position. Any family would be fortunate to have her."

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Infants & Toddlers - I love to read and sing with babies. They are just becoming alert to their environment, and in the short windows of time you have when they’re awake, not eating, and feeling groovy, engaging with them directly through books and songs is the most incredible way to see how much their brains are growing every single day.

Toddlers & Preschoolers - Little kids so love the excitement of DISCOVERY, and they’re finally mobile enough to put that urge into action. My favorite activities with kids at these ages are trips out of the house at any scale - neighborhood walks, nature walks at the forest preserve, trips to the library and pool/splash pad, etc!

School-aged - Big kids tend to be big enough to know what they want to do, but not quite big enough yet to do it on their own. My favorite things to do with big kids is to see what they’re into and facilitate it with adult direction. I love to hear a kid describe an inspiring idea and see how we can make it happen.

The most important part about being a nanny...

It is a lot easier to jump if you know someone will catch you if you don’t make it. A kid who knows they will be caught will jump earlier, jump further and faster. Nine times out of ten they won’t even need to be caught but for most kids to try hard enough to succeed, they need to know you are there. It is important to me to encourage children to jump, literally and figuratively, and stand ready to catch them should they need it so they can grow up strong and brave and build themselves happy lives. Should we be a match, I hope to be a lifelong friend to both you and your kids, and be another adult who they can rely on long into their own adulthood to be there to catch them should they ever need it.
