We interviewed several sitters, visited several daycare's but nothing put our mind or hearts at ease like Nicole does. She’s an excellent communicator, which was extremely important for us, because even though we were second time parents it wasn’t any easier to go back to work. She’s been supporting my breastfeeding journey since day one and does whatever she can to make that as easy as possible on me. Nicole provides a clean and safe environment and puts her whole heart into her kids. She treats our daughter like she’s one of her own and even her own kids treat her like she’s one of them. I’m elated every Monday when our daughter gives a huge smile and reaches for Nicole because she missed her.
Finding great child care, even with your second child isn’t easy but we can’t imagine anyone better to take care of our almost 8 month old baby girl.
My wife and I are huge fans of Nicole. She's been taking care of our 3.5 year old daughter since she was a baby and last fall started also looking after our now 7-month old son. They adore her and we knew when we first talked to her that she would be great with them. She's always quick to keep us up to date on anything regarding the kids (development, sickness, etc.). It's easy to see how much she cares for her kids too. She's very down to earth and easy to communicate with. Any questions we have...concerns, ideas on structure for our kids, discipline, etc...we've been able to have candid talks with Nicole and that's been really helpful as our kids grow. We also love that her entire family is great with the kids. It almost feels like our kids have some honorary big sisters and a big brother with how much they interact with the little ones. That's a big plus for us. We would definitely recommend anyone looking for an in-home daycare provider in the area to consider Nicole.
Nicole is wonderful! She took care of both our boys from 6 weeks old through ages 12 & 10. The home atmosphere is nurturing and fun! I highly recommend Nicole for childcare.
Nicole is truly fantastic. She watched our daughter for two years and really cares about the kids she watches as if they were her own, she’s educational and a great communicator and her house is always cleanly. We loved Nicole so much and would still be using her if we hadn’t moved out of state! Anyone would truly be lucky to take their kids to Nicole’s as a daycare provider
