About Rikka

Experience: 4 yrs

As a graduate from Cornell University with a Government and Psychology double major and a current law student at Northeastern, I am very responsible and great at time management skills. Since I get to choose my own classes this year I am very flexible with hours. Through my psychology degree and current law classes, I have been able to take several child development and juvenile rights classes, which has taught me so much and I was able to apply those skills through tutoring and mentoring younger kids as well as working at an after school program. Along with these experiences, I have had many babysitting jobs over the past few years, both long term and short term depending on the family's specific needs. A lot of my passion for childcare comes from taking care of my niece who has autism who has taught me so much about patience and compassion. Because of these experiences I believe I have the skills necessary to help provide you with childcare in any way necessary!

Rikka watched my 6 year old twins every weekend for half a year. She did an amazing job caring for and tutoring them with school work. I could always rely on her to be there when needed. She did a fantastic job with helping out around the house and watching my pet dog. Although we no longer need full time care, we still keep in touch with her for any last minute requests and she is always happy to help. She always went above and beyond and I would recommend her to anyone who needs child care, tutoring help and pet services, she’s a jack of all trades.
