Meet Erin

Hello! My name is Erin. I am a mother of a 16-month-old daughter and a part-time college student. I have several years of work experience, including 5 years as a nanny & babysitter for several families of which I can provide references, and 4 years of working as a shift supervisor in a restaurant. I am a positive, cheerful individual with a passion for working with children. I have experience with diverse personalities and a wide range of ages (newborn-10). I have studied the Montessori teaching principles and believe in and encourage child-led discovery and imaginative play. I always try to stay "present" with the child and interact with them through reading, singing & dancing along to music, preparing arts & crafts, and letting them explore outside. I am very patient, calm, & gentle with little ones. I try my best to make children's time away from their parents as Read more safe and enjoyable as possible. I am a certified child caregiver through the American Red Cross, and trained in CPR & first-aid. I am a great multi-tasker and can assist with any chores, laundry, pet-care, etc. you need help with in addition - I'll do whatever I can to make your life easier! I am looking for a family that will allow me the opportunity to bring my toddler to work with me. She is a very sweet, easygoing little girl, and would in no way inhibit me from giving your child(ren) my undivided attention. In my previous experience bringing her to childcare jobs, having a daily playmate has made the children look forward to having me come even more! I'd love to work with your schedule to provide care for your little one(s). My schedule is very flexible and I have my own transportation. I am a safe driver of a mini-van and willing to take your child(ren) to the library & playground with your permission. Hourly/weekly/flat rates are open for discussion based on you and your family needs. I look forward to meeting you and your family!
