Hello! I am Erica, a sophomore in college studying English and Business Management, and I’ve spent years working with children through summer camps, youth nonprofits, and babysitting. I’ve cared for kiddos from 7 months to 14 years old, so I’m just as comfortable with bottles and bedtime routines as I am with homework help and keeping older kids entertained. I’m big on creating a fun, safe, and positive environment. Whether that means crafts, games, outdoor time, or just making sure your child feels heard and cared for. I’m also CPR/First Aid certified, trained in Mental Health First Aid, and a mandated reporter in both Illinois and Florida, so your child’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. Parents would describe me as reliable, patient, and easy to communicate with and kids usually just say I'm relatable. Thank you for taking the time to read this, I’d love to be a helping hand for your family!
