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!
Most recent review
If I could give ten stars, I would! Rikka watched our son three times while we were in Boston because she bonded with him immediately and our son couldn’t stop talking about her. She was caring, playful, sensitive to his needs, and kept us updated the whole night (by request). On our last night, our son was so sad to be leaving Boston, but Rikka’s calming personality got him back on track. On her way out, she offered to take our non-perishables to a pantry for donations and even made sure we had a ride to the airport. Her heart is boundless and I am so grateful that we had a chance to meet, connect, and that our son was in the best possible care with her. We will undoubtedly reach out to her again when we visit in the future :)
