Nikki B.

Hi, parents and guardians! I am an early childhood educator and career nanny who lives on the West Side of Buffalo. I am seeking full-time employment with nanny industry standards. I have 13 years experience in childcare. It is truly my passion and life-calling. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in Child Psychology and Spanish and a Master of Fine Arts in Children's Literature and Young Adult Writing. I am trained and certified in SIDS, Infant Brain Development, First Aid, and CPR (infants, children, & adults) amongst other certifications. I am also certified in the LifeWays model of Waldorf education philosophy. I am incredibly nurturing, fun, careful, and prompt. I think clearly and have the ability to remain calm during a hectic situation. I am not here just to support your children, but to help support you navigate parenthood!
