Hello, I prefer to be addressed as Nikki, and I am a certified emergency medical technician. What sets me apart! 1. I have 15 years of professional experience working with children ranging from newborns to teenagers. 2. My passion for caring for children is profound. I have worked with approximately 55 families with another child care agency outside of and I have developed strong bonds with the 19 repeated families (out of the 55 families), often being considered part of their families. 3. As long as you need my services, I will always show up! I am committed to the families I assist. I am honest, patient, nurturing, protective, attentive, and responsible. I don’t just see this as a gig! Every child who is under my care is treated with respect and love. 4. I emphasize the importance of active learning and play over screen time. My approach is both interactive and engaging, as I enjoy organizing fun and educational activities, including but not limited to, arts and crafts, at home play, trips to the library, museums, and parks, language development for infants and homework assistance for school age children. Also, I offer support with light housekeeping and meal preparation centered around the children to ensure the household runs smoothly. In addition, I engage in various activities with the children. FOR INFANTS/NEWBORNS, I prioritize language exposure which involves reading to them, teaching vocabulary and sounds, and using visual aids like pictures and colors. I also assist with sleep training, bathing, feeding, and diaper changes. FOR TODDLERS, I support potty training, promote speech development, conduct spelling exercises, read books, teach phonics and writing, and introduce basic numbers and math concepts. 5. I pride myself on being an effective communicator. I prioritize open communication with the parents and children to foster a positive and trusting relationship. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to provide exceptional care for your children.

I hold a degree in Child Development and Early Childhood Education and have extensive experience working with children. From 2009 to 2019, I taught preschool-aged children, fostering their growth and development through engaging activities and personalized care. In 2019 and 2021, I worked as a Head Camp Counselor at a Girl Scout Camp, where I planned and led programs to create a fun and enriching environment. In 2022, I was promoted to Program Manager at the camp, further expanding my leadership and organizational skills. Additionally, I have hands-on experience as a nanny for two children, ages 2 and 4, and babysat for a family with a toddler from 2022 until the end of January. My responsibilities include preparing simple meals, assisting with potty training, and keeping the child engaged through indoor and outdoor activities. During the spring I babysat a one year old a few times. This summer I have been babysitting a six and ten year old. I also babysat 20 month year old twins a few times recently. Working with children has always been my passion, and I am currently seeking a babysitting position a few days during the week with preschool or elementary-aged children. My goal is to provide a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment for the children in my care.

With two decades of experience sitting for newborns through teens, I am available primarily for a position that has evening or weekend hours, though can do some daytime hours as well. I am outgoing, engaged, and safety conscious. I also communicate openly and timely with families. Though happy to work with all ages, I have worked most extensively with infants and toddlers. I am also a licensed foster parent through DCF, providing short term foster care for infants up to the age of two years old. My parenting is re-evaluated and re-accredited annually.

Hello! My name is Salimah. I have worked on and off in childcare for about 10 years. My experience includes working with infants, toddlers, and school aged children. My most extensive experience has been with infants and toddlers. My formal experience includes working in a daycare setting, home daycare, and most recently (before my temporary move out of state) working for a larger Childcare Agency that serves families in and around the Boston Area who are in need of last minute reliable childcare. I pride myself in my gentle and nurturing approach to childcare, along with patience, as I understand the transition period as a child adjust to being cared for by someone who they are unfamiliar with. Some of the duties I provide as an experienced caregiver includes: Supporting children's emotional and social development by guiding children through engaging and productive activities to a foster fun learning environment, whilst using positive reinforcement and behavior modeling.Open and clear communication with parents about daily activities, behaviors, and meals/sleep logs.Organized and planned age-appropriate reading, crafts and other engaging activities to encourage creativity and expression. Sanitized toys and tables to maintain a clean, safe environment. In my free time, I enjoy spending time in nature, reading , sewing, studying herbalism, gardening, and traveling. I am available to provide both long term and short term care for families. I’m looking forward to finding the next family that I’ll be working with, whether it be short term, long-term, or just a one-time booking. It’s important that we both feel we’re the right match for one another, so I appreciate you taking the time to read through my bio. I hope to connect soon!
