About Nia

Hi! I'm an MSW graduate student at Smith College with 11+ years of paid childcare experience caring for children from newborns to teens. As the oldest of 5 siblings, caring for kids has always been a big part of my life. I've worked as a camp counselor for three summers and have experience with school pick-ups, transportation, meal prep, bedtime routines, and creating fun, engaging days for children of all ages. My graduate studies have strengthened my understanding of child development and supporting children's emotional well-being. With a background in theater, improv, face painting, and art, I love encouraging creativity through storytelling, crafts, books, music, and imaginative play. Families describe me as dependable, patient, and communicative. I have reliable transportation, excellent references, and always strive to create a safe, nurturing environment while leaving your home tidy and enjoy involving children in cleaning up as part of building responsibility and teamwork.
