As a Summer Nanny in Sarasota County, Erica is able to have fun with children and help them continue their education through the summer.

“I absolutely love working with children! I can be described as humorous, compassionate, patient, and easy going. I am the oldest of three, and I have 17 cousins varying in age from grown adult to young toddler. I am at the higher end of that spectrum but tend to always sit at the children’s table anyway. I enjoy the energy and innocence of children. They are full of excitement and they know how to make life fun! I think being around children keeps you sharp and helps bring clarity into your own life. If I was asked to describe in one sentence the reason, I have chosen to be in the nanny profession over any other it would have to be because it is simply fun and always surprising – you never know what you are going to get! Who wouldn’t want a career where your goal is to make someone feel safe, happy, and loved? It’s a very rewarding career. I can honestly say I adore what I do! I feel that children are the future and it is my responsibility as a nanny to help shape and mold them, but until then, I feel they are honest, full of love, funny, entertaining, trusting, and playful. My goals as a Summer Nanny in Sarasota County is to keep a family happy by providing the best care for their child/children. I am able to do housekeeping which includes clean up from the daily mess, laundry, vacuuming, sweeping, cooking, and taking out the garbage. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives, I would say that I am funny, creative, loyal, a leader, and active. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include staying active, arts and crafts, as much outdoor play as weather permits, reading, and cooking; the rest would depend on the child/children’s needs and wants. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a nanny like me, I would hope they would be trusting, happy, and easy going yet structured.”

“She was a wonderful nanny for our daughter. I could not have been more pleased with her work performance during her employment. She was highly motivated and devoted herself to my child. She would supervise my daughter and care for her daily needs which included taking and picking her up from school, taking her to dance, helping her with homework, preparing her meals for her when needed, as well as for myself and my husband. She even did light housekeeping duties. She was genuinely interested in the well-being of my child. In summary, she possesses all the qualities of a successful Summer Nanny in Sarasota County. She is very reliable, trustworthy, and dedicated; I highly recommend her.”

“She was a nanny for my family for a little over 5 years! I believe that she is well qualified and experienced to be your full-time nanny. When she first came to my family, she primarily watched my daughter, while I worked or needed some time doing shopping and running around. As my daughter grew older, and was joined by a sister, her responsibilities increased to watching the two children alone, making meals for them, and taking them on short outings, to the park, mall, etc. I have had the utmost confidence in her judgment and maturity and have always felt comfortable leaving my children in her care. She is very loving, and my children love to be with her.”

“Over the past 6 years, I have gotten to know her, and I have learned she is passionate, strong, outgoing, creative and great with children. Over the past few years she has been a nanny to two delightful girls. With her creative imagination she is able to transpire a fun and friendly environment for the children. For example, whether it's playing the big bad wolf from little red riding hood, ninja turtles, or pretending to be a customer at a restaurant as the girls wait on her, the girls always went home telling mom and dad how much they enjoyed being with her and couldn't wait until tomorrow to see her again. Aside from playtime, with her past experience as a head teacher in day care, she is also able to make learning fun and enjoyable so that the children do not get bored. For instance, using a snack such as grapes in a math problem, how cool is that? Any family would be lucky to have her as a Summer Nanny in Sarasota County for their family.”

“My family was very fortunate to have her as my son’s teacher. She had a great connection with my child who was two years old at the time and struggled with listening and misbehaving. I highly recommend her for any future nanny position. She is a very patient, calm, nurturing, and caring person. She has an easy-going personality and truly cares for the wellbeing of anyone she encounters. She was able to set boundaries, teach responsibility while in school and expectations for success. I found the younger years for my son at times were difficult, but she always seemed to find a creative way for him to balance his energy and focus. I found through her compassionate teaching that my son grew confident, calm, and a great sense of right from wrong. While I enjoyed working with her, my son was into a new class and we were not as confident in the other teacher, so we moved him to a different school. She truly set my expectations high!! However, I found her to be such a big part of his life that we called on her services for childcare as well when we needed down time. She is more than qualified to care for children if you are seeking that special person, who can be loving, creative and fun, as well as insightful and inquisitive creating conflict and resolution scenarios. I know you will enjoy her as much as we do.”

“She was the only teacher our son had that could get him to eat lunch and for that I am truly grateful. She made it a game, and he loved it. She is so energetic and happy, and she has the ability to transform into a friend while still keeping the situation under control and using her authority only when necessary. When I had my second child, day care became too expensive. We then asked her if she would like to be a private nanny for us, and she became the perfect nanny for our children. She was always on time, she made the children's meals, bathed them when necessary, put them on a daily schedule, just like what our son did in school. She came in, fed them breakfast, had their morning lessons (singing ABC's, counting, etc...) did morning stretching, which I thought was a wonderful idea and my family still practices this, at least on the weekends. We gave her car seats, so she could run any grocery errands we had, or take the children to the doctors, or eventually take our son to and from school. She also took them on little field trips to the zoo and museum. They always took a daily walk, and most days stopped at the local playground. They read books together and she really encouraged them to use their imaginations which I just loved. I highly recommend her to any family seeking a nanny! She was truly a wonderful addition to our family!”
