About Erika

I'd describe my personality as playful, tidy and open. I like working with kids because they say what they mean and it's such a joy seeing a young mind grow, learn and create! I'm looking for a job that is part time that will allow me to continue going to school. I started working with kids when my step mother had my little half sister. I was 20 when she was born and helped raise her from the ages of 1 until 4, and still continue to babysit and watch her on occasion. She is almost 9 now. I've had other smaller nannying gigs with younger babies ages 1-3 to older kids 8-12 years old. In my spare time, I like to do yoga and walk or hike in the gorge! My skills include reading to kids and helping them build their vocabulary and getting outdoor time with them.
