Hello, my name is Erica. I am currently employed active duty in the military as a medic, but I am looking for a full-time nannying opportunity. I am currently located Colorado but will be ending my career with the Army in the next few months and have the freedom to move wherever. Before joining the military, I had approximately 7 years of nannying and babysitting experience. I babysat for friends and family with children anywhere from newborn to 13 years old. I nannied for two main families consistently during the summers. One family had 3 young girls, and the other family had 4 children- 9 and 7 year old boys and two 2 year old twins. Also, I worked at a summer camp as an Inclusion Specialist where I cared for children with Down syndrome and Autism. I went to college for 2 years for Nursing and Early Childhood Education, Read more where I had 1 year of hands-on experience working in a daycare/preschool. It was a joy! Through the military, I am now CPR certified, EMT certified, and have my medical assistant degree. I absolutely love children, and I know how crucial it is for a child's development to take them out to have new experiences and broaden their understanding of the world - not sit them in front of a TV! I consider myself a very outdoorsy, active, outgoing, and fun person and am looking for a family that's the right fit!
