Hey Parents! My name is Erin O'Malley and I'm from Milton, MA. I'm one of six children in my family and since I can remember I've been caring for kids. I started out helping my older sister babysit after school and then began taking on jobs of my own. I just graduated from Providence College after studying social entrepreneurship with a concentration in management and marketing. I love kids and have never ever found babysitting/nannying to be work or a chore because I just love interacting and playing with the children I watch, who over the past five years have become like my little brothers and sisters.      For my senior volunteer project at my high school I worked at a day care center for inner city children, with a variety of behavioral and emotional problems. It was great experience getting to deal with children that had previously been out Read more of my comfort zone and I learned a lot about dealing with crisis situations.  I'm certified in CPR, first aid and Lifeguarding and have taught swimming lessons starting at level one with toddlers up to level 6 with adolescent and junior lifeguards. Over the past six years I've spent the school year working as a swim teacher, lifeguard, and babysitter and summers as a camp counselor, lifeguard for the town pool and swim teacher. I've spent the past two summers and winter breaks as a full time nanny for an incredible family with four kids, the youngest starting at seven weeks.  I spent the last year volunteering for an non-profit organization running a children's home and primary school in a rural village in Kenya. It was the most incredible experience of my life and I would give anything to head back. I lived in the home with the children and spent my time working with them and teaching creative arts, creative writing, and English classes in the primary school.  Having graduated, I'm now moving onto to the next chapter and moving to Chicago. I'll be saying goodbye to my families in Boston and would love to get to know a new family around Chicago looking for a part time sitter, mornings, afternoons, evenings- I've got a pretty flexible schedule at the moment. I'm used to big families with 27 kids..small families with four, and all the stress and joy that comes with raising children so if you're interested please give me a call anytime and I'd be happy to meet you and your family! Thanks so much!
