Hello families, my name is Nikkea. I am an early childhood professional and postpartum doula with over 10 years of experience supporting children from birth to age five. My background includes Parent Education, where I've guided families in child development, routines, emotional regulation, and school readiness using play-based, developmentally appropriate care. I specialize in newborn care, sibling transitions, and postpartum adjustment, offering both nurturing support and professional insight during this important season. Families value my calm presence, discretion, and ability to anticipate household needs while prioritizing children's emotional and developmental well-being. I create enriching environments that foster growth, security, and confidence for both children and parents.
Nikkea is an instructor at the program in my neighborhood community center, where my daughter attends. She is one of the kindest, most empathetic people I’ve ever met and has a natural, calming connection with every child. Even when a toddler is acting out, she has an incredible ability to connect, soothe, and gently redirect them to another activity. Each day, she leads a classroom of 10+ children ages 0–5 through engaging art, reading, singing, and dancing activities. My daughter loves her and looks forward to seeing her every day. Nikkea has a heart of gold. Highly recommend.
