About Erica

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hi, my name is Erica but please call me Ricki. I am an early years nanny, specializing with infants, toddlers, and multiples under 5. I have previous experience teaching at The Goddard School, and I'm also certified to teach English as a Second Language. I work with families who are looking intermittent or short term care. I specialize in working with infants, toddlers, and primary school children. I work with discretion, and enjoy being a part of a family's care team (as a part time, back up, or mother's helper) because I believe in creating a village, even if you don't need each member of the village every day! I work often with children who are autistic (not ABA). I do work with older children, usually as a babysitter. Please let me know how I can work with your family to meet your care needs. I experience glitches with this application, so I offer references upon request, and will respond to all messages in-app within the week.

Riki is a gem! She watched my two kids (5 and 1) on very short notice while I recovered from surgery, and she was a lifesaver. It can be hard to watch very small kids while Mom is home but not available, and she did a great job of keeping them entertained and distracted while I rested. My kids were also bit cranky, and she was absolutely unflappable.
