Meet Nikira
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
As an aspiring teacher who just received their Associate's Degree in Elementary Education and Child Development, I understand the importance of high quality child care. I have volunteered and worked in educational spaces for six years and have been babysitting for as long as I can remember, including three years professionally. Nothing brings me more joy than helping children grow, learn, and explore. I am trained in de-escalation strategies, behavior management, have a thorough knowledge of child development ages 0-13, and I'm currently renewing my CPR/First-Aid certification. I also have experience working with kids with disabilities and other special needs. I have no problems changing diapers, making meals, assisting with housework, or driving kids in my car. I would be more than happy to provide references if asked for!
