I recently graduated from Boston College with my MSW and moved to Burlington. I will begin a position as a school social worker in the fall. I served two years with the Americorps program, City Year, an education nonprofit working in a Manchester elementary school providing literacy, math, and social emotional tutoring. I'm a 25 year old college graduate with an BA in elementary education and psychology. I have been babysitting since I was 15 and have cared for children of all ages. I am energetic and enjoy arts and crafts projects and I have a whole closet full of fun, kid friendly activities like making homemade chalk or caterpillar fruit snacks. I love cooking with kids and have run a cooking club with the 21st century after-school program in the past. I am patient and kind with the children I work with and role model positive and healthy behavior. Read more I have a license, car, and a clean driving record so I'd be more than willing to offer transportation. I am CPR certified as well.

I am happy to write an excellent review for Erika. We have not ever hired an outside babysitter aside from today. We always had friends, family, or people we were referred to for our babysitting needs. As an overprotective mom and a nurse, I wanted to make sure I got the best sitter for my children. We screened the references for all the applicants and then interviewed them. We had many applicants for the job we posted. Erika was our favorite due to her experience and general personality, so we offered her the position. Today she babysat all day for my kids while both my husband and I worked. I came home to freshly baked goods, the kids' toys organized in their room, and the house looking better than it did when I left early this morning. Erika was pleasant and professional in all our interactions. I would gladly hire her again or recommend her to anyone else wanting to hire her! My kids loved her and my heart is happy knowing they had good care today.
