Hello! My name is Nyeka but I prefer to be called Nikki. I am a certified emergency medical technician with expertise in CPR and basic life support. What sets me apart! 1. I am a patient, protective, nurturing, responsible and caring child caregiver with a passion for childcare. I understand the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment for children to thrive in. I don’t just see this as a gig! Every child who is under my supervision, is treated with respect… they are loved and cared for as though they are my own family. 2. I have 15 years paid experience working with children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. 3. I do not do screen time! My approach to is both interactive and engaging, as I love organizing fun and educational activities for the kids I care for. Whether it’s reading books, arts and crafts, at home play, trips to parks, museums, libraries, playgrounds, language development/tummy time for infants, or helping with homework for school age children, I strive to make each moment enjoyable and enriching for the children. 4. Additionally, I am happy to assist with light housekeeping and meal preparation centered around the children to support the smooth running of the household. 5. I pride myself on being an effective communicator who respects personal boundaries. I prioritize open communication with the parents and children to foster a positive and trusting relationship. I look forward to the opportunity to provide exceptional care for your little ones! NOTE: For night sitting that goes beyond 10 PM, I require an Uber back home for safety reasons!

Our 15-month old daughter immediately fell in love with Nikki and couldn't have been happier to spend the day with her. Nikki was attentive, a natural at taking care of our daughter, and flexible around our needs. Would highly recommend anyone to work with her!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."

Eric D., dad of two
