Meet Nyeka
- Certified Nursing Assistant
- Comfortable with pets
Hello, I prefer to be addressed as Nikki. I am a pre-med graduate and a certified emergency medical technician. What sets me apart! 1. I have 15 years of professional experience working with children ranging from newborns to teenagers. 2. My passion for caring for children is profound. I have worked with approximately 49 families with another child care agency outside of Sittercity and I have developed strong bonds with the 16 repeated families (out of the 49 families), often being considered part of their families. - I work with another company that provides childcare services, once a year, at conventions for physicians. 3. I am always on time! As long as you need my services, I will always show up! I am committed to the families I work for. I am honest, patient, nurturing, protective, attentive, and responsible. I don’t just see this as a gig! Every child who Read more is under my care is treated with respect and love. 4. I emphasize the importance of active learning and play over screen time. My approach is both interactive and engaging, as I enjoy organizing fun and educational activities, including but not limited to, arts and crafts, at home play, trips to the library, museums, and parks, language development for infants and homework assistance for school age children. Also, I offer support with light housekeeping and meal preparation centered around the children to ensure the household runs smoothly. In addition, I engage in various activities with the children. FOR INFANTS/NEWBORNS, I begin language exposure as early as 1 month, which involves reading to them, teaching vocabulary and sounds, and using visual aids like pictures and colors. This is typically conducted in both English and Spanish. Over the years, this approach has proven effective, as many children articulate their first words early, acquire a second language, and start forming sentences and enhancing their cognitive skills at a young age. I also assist with sleep training, bathing, feeding, and diaper changes. FOR TODDLERS, I support potty training, promote speech development, conduct spelling exercises, read books, teach phonics and writing, and introduce basic numbers and math concepts. 5. I pride myself on being an effective communicator. I prioritize open communication with the parents and children to foster a positive and trusting relationship. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to provide exceptional care for your children.

Nikki has been helping us with our 6 month old over the past few months and I cannot say enough good things about her. She is kind, compassionate, loving, and very knowledgeable. My son adores her and smiles so big every time she enters our home. She is a great communicator, which is something I really appreciate! Our son doesn’t like to nap, and Nikki goes above and beyond to make him comfortable throughout the day. She has even assisted us in starting him on solids. We will not let anyone else watch our baby other than Nikki! You’re the BEST!

Nikki is caring and hard-working. We need occasional help right now and she was just what we were looking for. She quickly bonded with our one-year-old, and was attentive to his (mostly nonverbal at this point) cues, like when he was hungry, tired, mad, sad, or wanted to play. By just the second visit he was so excited to see her he even said ran up and said hi to her when he answered the door. She also offered to do chores around the house during naps, which we appreciated. Most importantly, Nikki is reliable, confirming the time she will be here and sticking to the hours we set. She has been wonderful and we would recommend her to anyone.

I have known Nikki for a year now, she's been an awesome babysitter for my 11 months old quadruplets and my 3 year old toddler. Her sense of humor and creativity are excellent. She is my toddler's bestie. She is detail oriented, reliable, and great with following instructions. I highly recommend Nikki because she's a trustworthy and exceptional babysitter. My toddler was diagnosed with speech impairment 10 months ago, but with the help of Nikki, my daughter has made tremendous improvements in pronouncing words. Now, she is speaking full sentences all thanks to Nikki! My family and I are so blessed to have Nikki as our babysitter, and we believe you will too!

Nikki is an exceptional individual. She offered outstanding care for my daughter from the time she was one month old until she reached her first birthday. Her professionalism and genuine affection for children are evident in her work. She treats my daughter as if she were her own family. I greatly appreciate her honesty and kindness. Nikki managed diaper changes, sleep training, the introduction of semi-solid and solid foods, bathing, and laundry for Aria. She is incredibly sweet and compassionate. I will certainly continue to employ her services, and anyone who has the opportunity to have her care for their child or children is truly fortunate.

I love working with Nyeka. I have hired her multiple times. She has cared for my 4 month old baby girl, and is such a natural. She clearly has such a deep love of children and babies, and cared for my little girl as if she were family. She is very professional, friendly, and attentive. Not only did I feel like my baby was safe and in good hands, I also felt like my baby was genuinely being treated with love and care. I will continue to call Nyeka whenever I need another set of hands.

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.
Nyeka S.'s reply
Hi Lacey, it was a pleasure working with your family. I look forward to working with you 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!
Nyeka S.'s reply
Thank you Michele. It was a pleasure working with you and your family. Looking forward for future opportunities.
