Looking for expert care for your precious one(s)? Well look no further! I'm the type if nanny who actually PLAYS with kids- not just watch them play. I have extensive experience with a wide range of ages, newborn and up... and absolutely Love what I do! Newborns and infants are given the most detailed care possible. Having attended college as an Early Ed/ Child Development major, I acquired a great deal of knowledge useful in my field as a child care provider. My 'nanny style' is above average in ethics, safety priorities, interaction, and of course FUN! I chose to major in education, because there is nothing more noble or important than guiding children in a positive way. Its by far the most gratifying job Ive ever had. I have VERY high standards, ethics and I do employ discipline though NEVER physical or negative. I would actually consider it 'positive redirection' or correction really. I know a good bit of psychology and it comes in handy when working with kids, but more importantly -I care- and thats what I would want from my sitter. I'm fond of creative activities that incorporate learning. I have given music lessons, with voice instruction and piano. I also like to do a great deal of interactive activities that are NOT T.V. or videogame related, though I do like to play some videogames myself (in moderation). I goto the park with my daughter and bring a bucket of chalk for us. We end up making a huge mural with all the kids-while all the other moms are texting lol. I'm proof that its possible to be responsible, intelligent, able to discipline when necessary, yet able to relate to kids of all ages. I'm punctual, communication oriented, ENERGETIC, very caring, emotionally available, mentally stable and trustworthy. As a mom, I understand how IMPORTANT it is to find quality care for your children. I invest myself and my heart into the kids I work with-infants to teens. They all need and deserve equal amounts of heart from their caregiver. In short, I venture to be the kind of nanny I would want for my child.

Erica has been with my son since he was about 8 months old, he's now almost 3 1/2. She has been so very wonderful with him. She truly loves him, and he loves her. He has never batted an eye when I left, he thoroughly enjoys his time with Miss Erica. Erica has always kept my son engaged with creative activities - no electronics! They paint, play piano, build toys, go to the park, ride bikes, go on nature walks. The list goes on. She is very attuned to my son's needs and discusses his development with me. Erica always considers safety first and would not do anything that she believes might put my son in harm's way. Erica always gives me a run down of their day - activities, eating, mood changes, potty breaks; she keeps me very well informed, there are never any surprises (other than beautiful artwork!!) Erica always makes sure to leave my house in better shape than she found it. And that is always so appreciated - nothing better than coming home to a happy child and a picked up house! Erica has always asked about our discipline methods and has followed our lead (not that she's had too very often), but she wants to know how she's expected to handle any inappropriate behavior. My son and I will tremendously miss our Miss Erica, when we move. She has been such a great part of his life, helping him become a well mannered, creative little fellow. She has shared her heart with him, and he loves her, a mom could not ask for anything better from a caregiver.

Malaya has been amazing with our son! I was a very concerned first time parent with a premature son, I trusted no one. She immediately came in and put me at ease. My son loves Malaya and lights up every time he sees her! She is also great with my grumpy larger dog which was another concern and again she immediately showed she could handle him! It has been such a joy to have her with us! She has never missed a day, always on time and super reliable. Definitely recommend 12/10!
