About Erica

Experience: 10 yrs

I'm a former early childhood educator, counselor, & theater graduate. While searching for the right corporate job, I am seeking opportunities to earn extra money. As a theater counselor, I taught acting, singing, & dancing to elementary and middle school students, putting on shows like Annie & Seussical the Musical. In my 20s, I became a certified early childhood teacher. I managed classrooms with children ranging from 6 weeks to 4 years old, prioritizing creativity & parent communication. I also worked as a nanny for a child with PANDAS Syndrome, accommodating their needs to help them thrive. My background in education & theater shapes my play-based care style. I encourage hands-on engagement and strive to limit screen time while providing care. When you hire me, expect: Clear communication for smooth transitions. Cute pictures throughout the night for peace of mind. Your children to have a super fun time under my care. I look forward to connecting with you!
