Kaitlin Cherie

My name is Nicole, I am 34, married, with two little ones (5 & 6) and a labrador that thinks she too is my child.

I bring a practical, down-to-earth approach to supporting families in their early parenting journey. After 11 years working for NZ Police, I have developed skills that translate into calm, capable care for new parents and their little ones.

I’m a mum of two young children, so I understand firsthand how demanding and transformative those early months can be. My goal is to make that transition smoother, offering reassurance, structure, and genuine support so families can focus on bonding and rest.

I recently completed my Level 4 Certificate in Nursing and Career Preparation and will be starting my Bachelor of Midwifery next year. My long-term focus is on maternal wellbeing and newborn care, bridging my nursing foundation with hands-on family support.

I am Police vetted, and First Aid trained.
