About Nikia
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I attended Long Island University. My major was Early Childhood Education with a minor in Dance. As of right now, I have over 5 years experience in child care and a couple of months experience teaching toddlers dance. If you are looking for someone who is a team player, possesses the need to be a leader and most of all a hard worker, I have all of these qualities and I know I can succeed. I'm here to learn and use the knowledge that I have gained from school in this pleasant work environment.

Our family was pursuing a nanny share when we found Nikia. We loved her personality right away - very communicative, responsive, and even-keeled. Her experience both at a professional daycare (Bright Horizons which is very rigorous in procedure) and as a nanny stood out; she was very knowledgeable about infant and child milestones. She keenly observed the babies during the interview and would ask thoughtful questions about their development. While the nanny share did not work out because of logistical issues, Nikia's references and her performance during the trial day were impeccable. Her references glowed about her motherly instincts and how babies love her. We found both to be very true. When my daughter started coughing in the middle of the day, Nikia ran a steam bath for her. She fixed our annoying blinds so that the baby could sleep. She was so proactive and so caring. I was heartened by how loving she was. Nikia is awesome!
