Hi! My name is Erika and I’m an undergraduate student at the George Washington University. Before moving to D.C, I used to babysit back at home for all ages (from 6 months to 15 years). I also have experience babysitting for special needs children. I am great when it comes to homework help (I even know a bit of Spanish!) and my favorite babysitting activity is arts and crafts. I always bring a new craft or sometimes even a do-it-at-home educational science experiment to engage the kids and keep them entertained. I specialize in bed time stories and play time. I really enjoy encouraging kids to exercise and eat healthy snacks. I have 16 years of dance experience in many different styles of dance and I am a level 6 swimmer so I love to teach kids how to dance as a way to be active and I am comfortable Read more watching them swim. I plan on getting CPR certified very soon! I am trustworthy, responsible, mature, energetic, fun, and nurturing! My goal is not to just be a babysitter, but to be a friend to the kids that they look forward to seeing on weekends.
