I have experience house-sitting and pet-sitting. I can care for any plant and maintain household chores and necessities as needed. I have a wonderful cat and have had dogs in the past. I pride myself on being wonderful with animals. Besides the essentials of food/water/needs, I know each animal requires love, attention, and comfort while their favorite people are away!! I am open to watching children but do not have much experience at this time. I have proven to be a trustworthy person and have held many high-stakes jobs (such as an ambulance dispatcher), which has given me a large sense of accountability, responsibility, and dependability. I have a completely open schedule at this time, and I'm willing to work any hours needed.
Hello there. My name is Nicole and I have been an educator for 10 years. I teach elementary students and it’s truly my passion to help students meet their learning goals. When I’m not teaching, I love to cook, hike with my dog and do yoga. I am an animal lover as well and love to take my dog on nice long walks.
I’m a retired public school special education teacher living in Lakewood. My references are impeccable from my recent nanny placements, including infant care. My CPR and first aid certifications are current and have all Covid related immunizations.

Hello! My name is Jessica, and I’m a devoted mother of two—now young adults who have recently graduated high school. With over five years of professional nanny experience and nearly two decades of hands-on parenting, childcare has always been a central and deeply fulfilling part of my life. Originally, I studied to become an elementary school teacher, but I chose a more personal path—volunteering in my children’s classrooms and offering after-school care for neighborhood families. This experience naturally led me into professional nannying, where I’ve had the joy of caring for children across a variety of ages and stages. My experience includes working with: • A family of three children all under the age of six, • A family with two children under five, and • A sweet newborn, whom I cared for from 3 to 12 months old. I bring a calm, nurturing presence, a deep understanding of child development, and a true passion for supporting children as they grow and learn. I aim to create a safe, creative, and loving environment where kids feel encouraged and supported every day. I look forward to finding a family I can grow with and support in a meaningful way!
“We hired Jessica to take care of our 6 month old son over a year and a half ago. It was a tough transition for me but Jessica always sent me pictures, let me know what was going on throughout the day and always makes it easy for me to come in and out throughout the day for a hug (I work from home). From day one she has been warm, loving, responsive to our son’s needs and our requests, flexible and always up for an adventure. She finds a way to make everything a learning opportunity for our son and is very in tune with childhood development. She is very clean and helped keep the kids stuff organized and kitchen clean throughout the day. Jessica has a very calming and warm demeanor, both of my kids (I have an older son who is 6) love being around her. We loved that she was able to bring our son to activities, pick up our older son from school and we always feel they are safe and cared for when with her. She is very observant and great at understanding what our kids need and when. She is also very patient and rolls with the punches, especially when things get crazy with two young kids and two working parents. She has become a friend and an extension of our family, I am so sad to be losing her support and care in our home. Any family would be lucky to have her and we will miss her daily presence. My baby is headed to pre-school otherwise we wouldn’t be letting her go! We highly recommend Jessica and I am happy to be contacted for more information if helpful.”
