Meet Erica
- Comfortable with pets
For six years I have acted as a care-giver and psudeo family member for four different families. The children I've cared for have had as big a part in my life as I have had in theirs and that is one of the many reasons I love this work. As a child, I grew up with a live-in nanny, so I understand completely how special that bond can be, and it is always my goal to leave a lasting, positive impact on your child. I am currently a musical theatre student living on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Music was instilled to me very young and I encourage music and educational play with the children I nanny, as it strengthens communication, memory, and even mathematical skills that will stay with your child as he grows. I have taken care of both boys and girls from the ages of 6th Read more months to 10 years, as well as children with special needs. I am very fun and outgoing, and while I'm very girly at heart, I nannied 3 and 4 year-old brothers, so I know how to get down and dirty. I can cook everything from mac & cheese to pot roast, boxed cupcakes to homemade apple pie. I sew, craft, and am very handy with a vacuum (I was always taught to leave a space neater than how I found it) Ultimately, it is my goal to always make sure your child feels safe and comfortable while you're away, while maintaining the same level of respect you have instilled in them from the start.
