Experience

As a life-long childcare provider, I have always been an entrepreneur of providing a safe and healthy environment for all children. My love of helping families and infants started in my pre-teen years. I was the babysitter of all the babies in my neighborhood. I knew that my love of child development would lead me in the direction of working with infants and families. As an ROP student in high school, I enjoyed working with infants and young children. Before moving into private in-home care, I worked in several infant rooms within private childcare centers. I also have several years of experience as a preschool teacher. As a nanny for preschool age children, I was able to provide a preschool curriculum and schedule for the children in my care. I combine my experience and education in all circumstances.

I moved to the Bay Area from San Diego, I grew up in the Sacramento area. I moved here to help my sister with my infant niece, who we just sent off to college for her sophomore year. As I continued working, I also pursued my early childhood education. I completed my infant sleep work with a full picture, holistic and natural approach taking cues from each infant as an individual. Learning the timing and schedule of each infant as an individual allows me to simply let the infant lead as opposed to following a set sleep method. I set up each family for success both short and long term. I help you navigate feedings, sleep and your infants environment. When I come into your home my goal is to give you rest and help you create long term success with your infant.

Testimonials

"I've always admired you. You have such a strong work ethic, hold core family values to heart, intelligent, respectful, responsible and all around wonderful." Christina (3 kids) 

"Every night this week I've been able to put them in their bassinets and they fall asleep on their own. It's amazing and makes such a difference to my night. You definitely need to advertise that skillset because I don't think most night nannies can do that." 

Camille (Twin Girls)

"We appreciate you, thinking about how you always go above and beyond, and fit so easily into our fam." 

Jessica (1Boy)

"Reliable, never been late not even a minute! She helped us meet milestones, targets and tactics that most people don’t, myself included. She’s so experienced and flexible she wants you to have the best experience possible, and does everything in her power to make that happen. She’s detailed oriented. She’s there when you need her/in the background when you don’t.  She’s above and beyond! If you choose to work with Nicole you will see. Nicole is as good as it gets". 

Andrea  (1 boy)

"Nicole not only is an expert in baby and postpartum care, but she also has an amazing level of empathy and discretion. Her presence in our home as we welcomed our second baby and navigated the transition with our elder child was invaluable and had a huge positive impact on our children's wellbeing and our peace of mind."

Allyson (1 boy 1 girl)

"I have worked with Nicole on a professional level for many years. Nicole provides a well-rounded, child centered, hands on approach to caring for infants, young children and their families. Nicole has an innate ability for knowing just the right amount of care to give within all family settings. She truly is a gift to families. Joanie (Owner of The Applebee Preschool)

Meghan (2 kids)

Jennifer (4 kids)

We all learned so much from her guidance as new parents. She's kind, dependable, and made those early weeks so much easier. Highly recommend!"
