Hi, my name is Erika! I am a Blacksburg native who loves caring for little ones! I am not currently looking to take on many regular hours as I am working several part-time positions. Potentially open to considering a few hours midday T/Th depending on my availability. I have been working with infants (my sweet spot!) & children in many settings for 15+ years, & have extensive experience with all ages- newborns through teens, as well as autism, ADHD, & other special needs. I worked as an elementary & pre-k special ed aide with MCPS for 9 years, working 1:1 with children with various needs. I am first aid & CPR certified, can provide reliable transportation, have past experience lifeguarding, ASL experience, and am a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician. I am detail oriented & can help with light housekeeping tasks like organizing, laundry, & cleaning. Can provide many references 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!
