A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Erin and I am currently in nursing school. I will not be taking classes over the summer and I'm looking for a full time nanny position from May through July. I also have availability now to babysit on nights and weekends.

I graduated from CofC in 2010 and made my way back to Charleston for a new career path. I have 20 years of babysitting/nanny experience and absolutely love the work. I've always enjoyed working with kids and gain so much purpose and perspective when I do. Children are really the best teachers sometime!

A little bit about me

I am a rising junior at the Univerisity of South Carolina. I am from Charlotte, North Carolina, but am living in Charleston for the summer. I have been babysitting since I was little because I grew up in a very family oriented neighborhood. I was a summer league swim coach for my neighborhood pool for the past 6 years and lifeguarded for 2 years at the same pool. My whole entire life I have been surrounded by little kids and I enjoy having fun with them (playing outside, swimming, or teaching them to swim if they don't know how), but I am also very skilled in making sure they do what they are told. My availability is pretty much whenever!
