Hi everyone! I am 30 years old and from Philadelphia in the US. I grew up babysitting all of the neighbors in my community and continued when I went to my University in the States. I love being around kids and finding fun games to keep them entertained. I have over 15+ years babysitting experience raining from infancy to pre-teen. I grew up babysitting a family of 3 boys on a routine basis, picking them up from school, doing HW help, preparing meals, cleaning and traveling with the family. I've babysit multiple kids, ranging up to 6 kids at one time. Recently, before coming to Australia, I was a nanny for twin three year olds. In addition to my extensive babysitting experience, I was a camp counselor a few summers, where I was responsible for a group of 15 three to five year olds. I look forward to meeting you and your families! Best, Erika
15+ years babysitting children ranging from infancy to pre-teen. I am comfortable picking kids up from school, cooking, cleaning, and doing homework help. I babysat 3 boys for 8+ years that were between the ages of 7-11 when I first started watching them. I babysat them after school taking them to their activities and helping with homework and meal prep. I also did numerous date nights for the family and traveled with them out of state to help watch the kids at a hotel while their parents attended an event. Outside of this family, I babysat a few other families in my neighborhood for 6+ years. I also did lots of date nights for families nearby. When I attended my University I found local families and helped with transportation for their kids after school, meal prep and homework. I recently was a nanny for twin three years where I was watching them anywhere from 15-24 hours a week. Outside of babysitting, I was a camp counselor for a few summers at my local YMCA where I was responsible for 15 three -five year olds each day for the summer. I took them to their activities, and made sure they were safe and having fun on the property in between activities like swimming, playing outside games and going to the park. Additionally, I volunteered my time for after-school programs, where I went to local elementary schools to help watch and play with the children who stayed for the program before their parents picked them up. I did this for about 3 years. The kids ranged in ages from 6-12. I've always loved babysitting for kids and the energy that they bring. I am always looking for new games and creative ways to key them entertained!
I've had experience with after school programs growing up, but only served as a volunteer during these events. I'm happy to help and learn new skills to help kids in different subject areas.
