A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Nicole. I have been a nanny for about 8 years now. I love caring for children and giving them my genuine love just like they do to me. I treat every child with the love and kindness they deserve, as I would like everyone to treat my own children. I have children of my own so I have firsthand experience on working with newborn up to teenage years. I am open to also do light housework and also cooking. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you!

A little bit about me

I'm positive, caring and hardworking and even though I only have 1 year of experience I'm really good at taking care of children and understanding that each child has different needs. I can help with Light Housekeeping and Cooking/Meal Preparation. Cooking and meal prepping two things I enjoy and would have no issue assisting the family in that area. Organization, planning and multitasking are some of my greater skills and some that I find useful when taking care of children. I'm looking for a productive way to make a little money before going back to college.
