Hello, I'm Nikki! I'm looking to work as an occasional nanny on weeknights or weekends ONLY within the Oakland/Berkeley area. Please specify where you're located when reaching out because I do not have access to that information. **My education and career have revolved around children in the past eight years, most of which were in educational or home settings. Some of these roles include: Babysitter for 7+ different families (ranging from 1-3 kids at a time); Childcare Attendant at a daycare facility; Youth Leader at after-school programs throughout elementary and middle schools across San Diego; Teacher's Assistant at the UC San Diego Early Childhood Education Center. **Additionally, for two years, I worked as a Quality Assurance Analyst for Google Play's Trust and Safety team where I moderated mobile application content targeted for families and kids. Most recently, I traveled abroad to Europe to work as a temporary au pair for Read more a family with twin baby boys. **Some of my responsibilities in these roles include engaging children with arts and crafts, encouraging active play, providing homework assistance, changing diapers, putting babies to sleep, and preparing meals. **Aside from my paid work experience, I've also participated in three education-based research practicums at after-school programs. My research aimed to gain insight about bicultural development among Native, Black, and Latinx youth in San Diego. These projects involved developing culturally-relevant curriculum, encouraging language acquisition for early elementary school youth, along with examining same- and cross-racial friendships among high schoolers. **Like many care workers, I am a social justice advocate -- and I look forward to connecting with like-minded families who need part-time help. Know beforehand that I have some visible tattoos. If you have already read this far, I hope that this will not be a concern for you :) **Lastly, I'm fully vaccinated and boosted, have my own car for transportation, and First Aid and CPR/AED certified by the Red Cross (Valid until 1/25/2024). If you are interested, feel free to send a message -- I'd be happy to schedule an interview and meet your family!

Nikki has been my life saver for the week my son's daycare was closed. She called initially and asked appropriate questions. she is the first sitter Ive hired and Im so glad it was her because it was an awesome experience. She is punctual, played with my kids, did painting, took them biking in our grounds and even read them books before naptime. towards the end she was able to drop my kid to daycare and picked them up for a day. i felt my decision to hire nikki was a great one and families shell be working with will feel dafe to leave their kids with her. i definitely would like to work with Nikki again in the future! Thanks so much Nikki!
