Hello, my name is Erica! I enjoy sewing, crochet, and all forms of art. I am the oldest of 5 kids, so I had a lot of experience growing up with so many younger siblings to take care of. During my time at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I also began nannying for a beautiful family with 4 children, who I was lucky enough to be with for 3 years. I love to do arts & crafts with kids who I am babysitting. I have my CPR certification.

Erica was so great! It was after bedtime when she arrived, but my kids were still wanting to play and hang out a bit. They absolutely loved her and still got to bed at a good time. She even stayed an extra 15 mins due to my husband being in a bit of traffic. We can’t wait to book her again.

My girls warmed up to Erica very quickly and had a wonderful time with her. She was attentive to their schedules, took care of meals, and played a variety of games/toys both inside and outside with my oldest while my youngest napped. We will definitely be booking her again!

Erica was great! She came 15 minutes early giving me extra time to share where everything was and what to do. She made my son lunch, painted with him, took him to the park, and put him down for a nap. She was super positive and cheerful. Recommended!

Erica was awesome with our 10-month old and 2 year old. Our two year old had a blast playing kitchen with her. She also fed them dinner and put them to bed with ease, which isn't an easy task!

Erica was great with our 2 children, ages 5 and 1! She was excellent at communicating while we were out (teething toddler) and I couldn't be happier. We also came home to a house decorated with snowflakes! My 5 year old can't stop talking about the fun he had crafting with Erica and can't wait for her to come back.
