Meet Erin

  • Comfortable with pets

I am a freelance fashion writer with a career background in magazine editorial and women’s retail buying. I was a volunteer youth tutor once a week with Tutoring Chicago, working with a 4th grader on her reading and writing skills. I have over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including infants. I began as a mother's helper when I was in 7th grade and spent my summers in middle school as a volunteer sports camp counselor at my neighborhood park district. I continued to babysit regularly throughout high school. From my sophomore to my senior year, I also participated in an after-school program, called Latchkey Kids, through my high school’s sponsored volunteer program. For this, I received a certificate for completing over 50 hours of community service. Between my junior and senior year, I was a lifeguard at a swimming pool, which required me to receive Read more complete first-aid training and CPR certification. I also taught swimming lessons. Following graduation and before leaving for college at Indiana University, I worked as a nanny for two boys, ages 5 and 7. I updated my CPR certification last year, 2014. More about me: * I have a bachelor’s degree in journalism, and I also completed a graduate journalism program at Columbia University in New York City. * I am happy to help with homework, test preparation, and/or essay writing and editing. * I understand the importance of returning to a clean house, so you can expect light housekeeping. * I enjoy baking and cooking and will help with meal preparation, if requested. * I took 6 years of French (both high school and college level). * I am a very strong swimmer. * I like to play sports, especially tennis. Thanks so much for viewing my profile, and I hope to hear from you! All the best, Erin
