Hello! My name is Nicole but I prefer to go by Nikki. I started working with children as a mother's helper at age 10. When I turned 13, I began babysitting. I am CPR certified and review and update my CPR skills every 6 months. I was a ballet dancer throughout my child-teenage years. I am also athletic. I try to create activities that will not only be fun but creative ways to bring music and sports together. I have worked with all ages of children. The youngest was 2 months and the oldest was 16 years old. I am knowledgeable about children's development and pride myself in finding age-appropriate activities that are not only fun but also learning experiences as well. I received my bachelor's degree in Psychology, specifically in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I am a Registered Behavior Technician and currently working towards my master's degree in this Read more field. I work with children with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder and provide ABA therapy to implement behavior management strategies as well as social and emotional skills. For older children in school, I can help with after-school homework. I grew up with babysitters and nannies. My goal is to be a role model for the children I work with. My passion is to help children grow and become respectable and honest young adults. Thank you for considering me!!
