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!

I love being a sitter because I naturally enjoy working with kids and creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for them. I'm a high-energy, caring person, and I like being someone people children can feel comfortable around. Being a sitter also connects with my long-term passion for working with children and families.im currently a behavioral therapist working with autistic children ages 2-10 years oldI have babysitting experience with infants and older .( I am willing to provide babysitting / nanny references ) I'm very comfortable supervising kids of different ages. I help with daily routines, keeping kids engaged, and making sure they are safe and supported. I'm dependable, patient, and good at adapting to different family needs. I'm currently graduating next year with my associate's degree in Psychology, and I'm inspired to eventually become a child therapist. I'm also interested in becoming an ultrasound technician, which reflects my overall interest in healthcare and working in child and family-focused fields. I bring strong communication skills, a positive attitude, and a willingness to keep learning and growing. I am not CPR certified yet but am open to getting certified. Thank you for considering me!
