Hello families! I am a third grade teacher living in Brooklyn. I have been a full time teacher for nine years and have over fifteen years of experience working with elementary and middle school age children in classroom and home settings. I began working with children when I started babysitting my toddler twin cousins, and have worked in education and childcare for over ten years. I currently teach fourth grade in Brooklyn. I’ve previously taught first grade, third grade, and K-12 art therapy. I am excited to work with all ages of children, and love to engage in their favorite activities with them. Thanks so much for reading, I look forward to working with you! Best, Leanne

On time, kind, very good with communication and understanding of our unique sitting situation. Interactive with our son and very polite. Would definitely hire again if we’re in the area. Thank you so much

I’m Nikol, a fun, energetic, organized and well certified person who loves both learning and teaching alike! I am CPR, AED & First Aid certified via American Red Cross, licensed with a clean driving record, am able to swim and have a Bachelor’s degree. I have nannied and babysat children between the ages of newborns to teens for the last 13+ years. I love to help out in any way that I can and that includes babysitting. I was a full time nanny up until a few years ago and as of recently, I am doing part time sitting/vacation nannying in addition to my full time job as a flight attendant. I also currently help care for my 4 year old niece & 10 month old nephew on various days. I give my all to the children and families that I connect with and look forward to meeting new kiddos and sharing my fun stories, mediocre singing, crazy dancing and plenty of love with them! I am able to cook quick meals, do simple cleaning tasks, do laundry and run simple errands. If you have any questions regarding my profile, please don't hesitate to send a message my way! I would love to get to know your kiddos :) Thanks for your consideration! POLICIES: **Minimum Hours: I have a minimum 4 hour policy which means that I must be booked for at least 4 hours. If you'd like to book me for less, that is fine as long as I am still being paid for the full 4 hours. --------- I require full payment for the time I am booked regardless of when the parents come home. **Cancellation: If you cancel within 48 hours of the scheduled start time, I expect 50% of payment agreed upon. If you cancel within 24 hours, I expect to receive 100% of the payment. **Emergencies: I am CPR & first aid certified. In the case of an emergency that I feel I am not equipped to handle (ex: severe allergic reaction, fire, medical emergency, etc..) I follow the following plan: 1. Do what I can to ensure child(rens) safety. 2. Call 911. 3. Call Parents. **Interviews: Initially I prefer phone interviews. If it is a working interview, I charge at my minimum rate of per child.

Nikol was our full time nanny from 2016-19, she watched my son from 6 months old up until he was 3. Nikol still watches my son and now his younger brother as well occasionally. She really became part of our family and we all lover her! When she was with us full time she did everything, cooked meals, took him to scheduled activities and doctor appointments, laundry, etc…Nikol is always on time and would work very long hours sometimes. If you want someone who is fun and energetic, who will treat your child like her own, and who is dependable then call Nikol!!!!
