Professional experience includes: 6 years in personal nannying, 10 years in childcare, and 12 years in teaching dance for children. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers. College graduate and certificate in ASL interpreting and childhood development. CPR Certified. I can provide references! I enjoy caring for others, lightening the mental and physical load of everyday life, and treating your little one the way you would want them to be treated. My responsibilities have included: keeping a steady sleep/feeding schedule and bedtime routine, encouraging developmentally appropriate milestones, driving to/from school and after-school activities, and in-home tutoring. I have volunteered at a local organization for infant and toddler care for 5 years, worked in daycare at family camps for elementary school ages for 5 years, and worked with kids with special needs.
“Sarah is the best! She has worked for us for the past two years and has been such an important part of life for our family. She has everything a parent might wish for in a babysitter. She is very responsible, makes good decisions and communicates very clearly. My kid adores spending time with her because she is so playful and creative, always making up fun games and always following his lead. Sarah is very adept though at holding good boundaries, finding teachable moments and creative ways to handle any of my kids more challenging behavior. I could go on and on...... if you are here looking at her profile, you are lucky and have found a real gem!”

Booked by 5 families in North Hollywood, CA
Hello, my name is Nicole! I’m 26 years old and originally from Poland. I’m currently living in Los Angeles, Encino and have several years of childcare experience, including working as an Au Pair (live in nanny) where I cared for children of different ages and supported busy families in their everyday routines. I’m CPR certified and have experience with kids from ages 2 to 15. Over time, I’ve learned how to find that sweet spot between fun and structure whether we’re doing crafts, playing outside, helping with homework or just winding down after a busy day. I always want kids to feel safe, comfortable, and free to be themselves, and for you to feel relaxed knowing they’re in good hands. In my free time, I’m very active. I enjoy sports and going to the gym, which helps me stay energetic. I love reading books and cooking, and I often share my passion for learning and healthy meals with the little ones I care for. I am a reliable and a safe driver so transportation and errands are never a problem. I’m responsible, caring, punctual and always ready to create a fun and positive environment for children! I’m more than happy to chat and answer any questions over a phone call, feel free to reach out anytime!
“Nicole was amazing! So kind and caring and my kids immediately felt comfortable with her. Didn’t been cry when we left for the evening (which is unheard of!). She was great with them and and they’re still talking about her the morning after. Love to have her back!”
