About Erica

Hi there! My name is Erica but everyone calls me Rickie. I've been babysitting since I was 12 years old, and I absolutely love it. What makes me stand out is my passion for enrichment. In my opinion, babysitters should not just entertain and supervise kiddos, but should provide them with fun, enriching activities that help them grow. Sometimes this looks like playing pirates together in the backyard, sometimes it looks like using my library card to check out passes for free entry into Chicago's museums, and other times its baking cookies together! I'm currently getting a degree in Musical Theatre and Journalism/Media Studies from Roosevelt University. I'm very musically talented (I play piano, guitar, ukulele, bass, and kalimba as well as singing), I'm a dancer, and I am a very good tutor (tutored elementary math and ELA for 3 years). I love sharing these passions with children!
