Hi. I am Nicole. I have always had a love for children which lead me to getting my RN degree and working in the NICU. ( love me some babies). But over the years I have moved away from the hospital setting. I have done camp nursing during the summer months for 6yrs now (summer 2020 was supposed to be #7 but due to Covid well it just didnt happen). I have done "newborn nurse" (in home overnight care for newborns/ infants). I have done pediatric home health nursing via a local agency. I have been side/ back up care for a little boy with a life threatening genetic condition. I have been a full time nanny/ nurse for a little boy with a rare chromosome deletion and helped navigate his therapies, doc appointments, hospital stays and so much more. I also cared for him overnights when mom and dad Read more needed an adults weekend or had out of town work commitments. I am also a mom to a grown child and an awesome 8yr old who is actually back in inperson school. So you name it I have done it and experienced it. I have no issues driving your children to appointments and therapies if needed. I am also very active. I live in Palatine and would also be willing to watch your child in my home if needed. I am your outta the box type situation nanny/ child care provider. Strange hours?, thats ok. Just need help for a few days?, thats ok too. Need me to just help sort out your high medical needs scheduling?, thats ok too. Overwhelmed with your newborn that just got discharged from the NICU?, thats ok too. We can figure it out. Feel free to approach me for anything you may need in care. Look forward to speaking with you
