Meet Nyeka

  • Certified Nursing Assistant
  • Comfortable with pets

Greetings, my name is Nyeka, though I prefer to be addressed as Nikki. I am a certified emergency medical technician with expertise in CPR and basic life support. 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. I pride myself on being an effective communicator who respects personal boundaries. My passion for caring for children is profound, and I hold a premedical degree with a focus on management. Having grown up in a culture that instilled in me the skills necessary for maintaining a household from a young age, I find great joy in my work. I have developed strong bonds with the 16 families I have worked with, often being considered part of their family. My approach is both interactive and engaging, as I enjoy organizing fun and educational activities, including arts Read more and crafts, outdoor play, and homework assistance. I also offer support with light housekeeping and meal preparation to ensure the household runs smoothly. Above all, I prioritize open communication with both parents and children to foster a positive and trusting relationship. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to provide exceptional care for your children.

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!
