My name is Erin, I'm 33 years old, and I grew up in the St. Louis suburbs. I recently moved back just before the pandemic after living in Portland, Oregon for the last six years. Currently, I’m seeking part-time nanny work as I get my writing career off the ground. I have worked as a nanny, outdoor teacher at Whole Child Montessori School in Portland, and as a rock climbing instructor. A little bit of background about me: I graduated from the University of Missouri - Columbia with an English degree. I love climbing and running in my spare time and going for hikes! My style of working with kids is that I like to guide them to make safe and informed decisions on their own, while encouraging them with positive validation and compassion. Of course making sure to always have a sense of humor, being goofy, and letting the Read more kids' personalities shine! I have been nannying, teaching, and babysitting for over ten years. I come from a family of 5 kids, so energy and activity is the norm for me! I have ample experience with infants and all ages. My favorite part of nannying/sitting is being adventurous, getting outside, encouraging imaginary play, and reading! Currently, I work for a family Mon/Tues/Thurs, so I'm available any of the other days of the week, as well as on weekends. My hourly rate is $25 an hour, which reflects my experience and expertise, as well as living costs. I’m a professional and expect to enter into professional, human-centered relationships with all the families I work with. I’ve developed a great network of families who I occasionally babysit for and the theme that remains true for all the families I work with is that they value me as a childcare provider and understand that the job is worthy of proper financial compensation. This ensures that the exchange is as equitable and mutual as possible. I'm fully vaccinated and boosted. I'd love to connect! Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you! Warmly, Erin
