With 15 years of professional experience working with children ranging from newborns to teenagers, I emphasize the importance of active learning and play over screen time.

She is absolutely great with children. She is very sweet, honest, and trustworthy. She’s always on time and engage my 9 months old and 4 year old daughters with fun activities. I refuse to hire anyone else because my kids absolutely love Nikki. I highly recommend her.

Nikki has a wonderful, warm and kind presence. Our two-year old can be very shy at first, but she warmed up to Nikki immediately. She jumped right into a somewhat chaotic evening as we rushed around getting ready, and she did a great job at caring for our kiddo with little notice. Nikki was a delight to have over and we would definitely hire her again.

We felt at ease with Nyeka the minute we connected with her for a virtual interview. She was pleasant, knowledgeable, educated, and polite. She showcased the same qualities in person. Our 2-year old daughter acclimated to her in a short amount of time. Nyeka kept her safe and entertained for hours. She also gave her a birth bath, fed her and changed her clothes. We highly recommend her and would not hesitate to rehire her. Thanks so much for taking great care of our baby girl, Nyeka!
