A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Erica! I’m a responsible, caring, and energetic college student based in Chicago with a strong passion for working with children. I have experience volunteering in community settings and am CPR/AED certified through the American Heart Association, so safety is always my top priority.

I’m patient, reliable, and love creating a fun, supportive environment—whether that’s helping with homework, organizing activities, or simply being someone kids feel comfortable around. I also speak some Spanish, which can be helpful for bilingual families.

I’m currently looking for babysitting or nanny opportunities where I can build meaningful connections with families while providing dependable, attentive care.
