Hi, my name is Erika! I am a Blacksburg native who loves caring for little ones! I will be looking for a new part-full time position beginning sometime late Aug-Oct '26, but am not currently looking to take on regular hours. My ideal position would be newborn care/postpartum family support. I have been working with infants (my passion & sweet spot!) & children of all ages in many settings for 15+ years, including special needs. I worked as an elementary & pre-k special ed aide for 9 years, working 1:1 with children with various needs. I am very safety conscious, first aid & CPR certified, a nationally certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (car seat tech), and have ASL experience. I have also completed multiple Newborn Care Specialist trainings. I am detail oriented & can help with light housekeeping tasks like organizing, laundry, & cleaning. Professional pay & contract required, which I can provide! References available upon request. Hope to hear from you!
Erika has been the most incredible nanny to our one-year-old! In addition to being one of the most professional people we've ever worked with, she brings so much joy and excitement to her everyday interactions with our child. Our daughter was so happy to see her every day, and she worked with us when our schedule needed to change and grow with our child. Erika is an excellent communicator and also offered new ideas for developmental activities, games, and learning opportunities. We give her our highest recommendation!
