Meet Erin
I am actually a professional Jazz Vocalist based in Chicago with international acclaim; I am unmarried with no children but absolutely love children!… Originally from a small town in Ohio, I babysat routinely from the age of 11 years old through college when I would return home on holiday breaks etc. I was a full-time nanny in the spring/summer of 1996 for four children, all under the age of 8 (one child being a newborn)... and I still keep in touch with the family. :) Recently, I was out to dinner with friends in Lincoln Park, and found myself helping a mother of two with her screaming baby at the table next to us. The entire restaurant was amazed when I got the child to stop crying instantly. That is when my best friend said "You REALLY need to go into the babysitting business". LOL It has always been my Read more nature to nurture children and I have a way with them that seems to shock some people. (My friends literally call me "the child whisperer"). I was certified with CPR/First Aid in high school and college and would probably want to be rectified upon taking any part time nanny job just to reassure the parents. I'm very well known (not just in Chicago, but across the country) as a legitimate professional singer, but I am also very well known as a person of integrity and deeply loving. I am happy to provide references and family information-- I understand the desire to be certain of who is with your child. This endeavor is quite honestly just to make more money but bring my life and heart a joy in doing so that only a child can bring someone. I know there are other more experienced full-time childcare people in the city, but I also know that I would do an excellent job.
