About Ricki
Experience: 10 yrs
Compassionate caregiver, mother, and child development advocate committed to helping children grow into confident, curious, and emotionally secure learners. As a mother, I intentionally nurture early literacy, language, problem-solving, and social-emotional development through play-based learning, reading, conversation, movement, and positive guidance. My experience teaching toddlers through adults in martial arts strengthened my ability to create structured, engaging environments that build confidence, self-discipline, respect, and resilience while adapting to each child's unique needs. I believe every interaction is an opportunity to foster independence, kindness, and a lifelong love of learning. Families value my patience, reliability, warmth, and ability to create safe, nurturing environments where children feel supported, encouraged, and inspired to thrive. Since 2010.

Most recent review
We feel incredibly grateful and fortunate to have had Ricki take care of our kid. She was genuinely nurturing, attentive, and patient. We completely trusted that our child was in caring and capable hands everyday. Ricki also went above and beyond when it came to planning and engaging in child development activities. She always found fun and creative things to do! Ricki has a background in fitness and nutrition, so she made sure that our little one stayed active and ate healthy. Our child absolutely loved spending time with her and was always excited to see her.. We would not hesitate to hire her again and wholeheartedly recommend Ricki to any family looking for a compassionate and dependable caretaker.
