A little bit about me

Hey there! You can call me Nika! I love helping people grow and be apart of those teaching moments. In this life I was not blessed to have children but instead I've studied and learned how to help families. I've studied Family and Consumer Sciences, been in general education and behavioral therapy with many genuine uniquely different kids from all walks of life and conditions. I'm ready to help!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have been working with children for about 8 years now, ranging from; day care teacher, teaches aide, registered behavioral therapist, camp counselor, babysitting,coaching and nannying to over the years.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy teaching kids to clean, cook, learn nature, crafting and most of all reading!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I get to help elevate families and their children be a better version of themselves and become part of a family.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience with ADHD, ADD,ASD,ODD, OCD, PAK and many more I haven't been made aware of directly due to confidentiality working as a behavioral therapist some parents aren't open upfront earlier on.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When a child grows up and finds you on their own or has their parents reach out and tell you how they remember you. Your not a worker but a human that has provided essential skills and nurturance. It's beautiful to know a person can plant seeds without much effort just by showing patience, understanding and love.
