I am the oldest of seven children and have been babysitting since I was 10. As I grew up I continued that passion for taking care of kids by completing my Bachelors Degree in Psychology with a focus on early childhood development. I am currently working through my Masters Degree in Social Work as well. In the past 5 years I have been a long term babysitter for multiple families, a tutor for middle and high schoolers in the District 300 area, and the Early Childhood Teacher for the Algonquin Park District. Recently I have started as an ABA Therapist, working with special needs kids to help them reach developments milestones. I love doing science experiments, crafts, going to the zoo, and making other fun educational trips to learn about the world around us. I have 4 of my own children and have nannied and babysat since I had my Read more first child.I already enjoy doing these fun things with them and would love to watch another child share the fun and excitement of learning and discovering.

Nicole was our nanny from the time our son was 6 months till 5 years old. The ONLY reason we had to change is due to bus drop off times for her daughter and our son not working out. As amazing as she is, she cannot be in 2 places at one time! She is great at getting the kids out and doing different activities, she is extremely reliable and punctual. I can not remember a time in 4.5 years that she canceled or called in sick. You will not be disappointed. She is great with the kids, great at keeping them active and has a perfect balance of discipline and fun!
