Niki T.

Yr old

I’m a 30-year-old educator, musician, and caregiver with over 6 years of experience working with children aged 3 to 13 in both creative and academic settings. I hold an honours degree from Ryerson University and have a warm, thoughtful approach when it comes to supporting kids—whether it’s with schoolwork, music, emotional regulation, or just having a fun, safe afternoon after school. My background is rooted in music education and hands-on caregiving. I’ve taught private drum and guitar lessons to kids aged 5–13 for over three years, and I led a large group workshop through Grayson’s Recording Workshop in partnership with Regent Park School of Music, guiding 20+ students through original songwriting and recording. I’m also a professional drummer and have trained under world-class musicians including Grammy-nominated NYC-based drummer Vishal Nayak and guitar lessons from UCLA PhD alum Ryan Thomas. In addition to teaching, I’ve supported families as a nanny and babysitter—helping with school pick-ups, snack prep, light tidying, bedtime routines, creative play, and tutoring. I love making children feel seen, safe, and encouraged. I believe in following their lead while providing a calm, consistent presence they can rely on. I come from a close-knit family, and I naturally bring that warmth into my work with children. Outside of work, you’ll find me reading, biking around the city, working on music, or cooking something cozy. I’m responsible, reliable, playful, and patient—someone you can trust to show up with care and consistency. If you’re looking for a part-time nanny, tutor, or creative caregiver who can support your child’s growth while bringing joy and structure to your household, I’d love to connect!

I’ve been teaching and tutoring for over 6 years, with a strong focus on music education and creative learning. I’ve led private drum and guitar lessons for kids aged 5 to 13 for the past 5 years, and also taught group workshops—most notably through Grayson’s Recording Workshop in partnership with Regent Park School of Music, where I guided over 20 students through composition and recording sessions. I've also tutored elementary students in English, Math, History, Visual Arts throughout the last few years. I’m a professional drummer with over 5 years of live and studio experience, and I’ve trained under incredible mentors, including Grammy-nominated NYC-based drummer Vishal Nayak and UCLA PhD alum Ryan Thomas. I hold an honours degree from Ryerson and love bringing together structure, creativity, and play to help kids feel confident and inspired in their learning.
