Hello, I'm offering the services of providing exceptional care, as an experienced professional and a genuine passion for supporting the development of children and youth. I am confident that I can meet the unique needs of your family.
It is incredibly rewarding to help children learn and grow, and the opportunity of working with children, gives them the chance to build confidence and develop essential life-skills. Whether playing games, doing crafts, or engaging in physical activity, it is critical in making sure their needs are met, and in supporting their growth. I’m responsible, patient, and able to juggle many different tasks, including helping with schoolwork and reading, particularly in math and sciences. I appreciate structure, and following family rules in order to guide and strengthen good habits. I understand the importance of fostering supportive environments encouraging empowerment, and recognize the value in being attentive to their needs.
In shaping their experience throughout their lives through memorable experience, I recognize the value of support in their development, and am eager to give back to the community and make a meaningful difference.

Hello! My name is Eryka :)
I am looking for a part-time or occasional position starting May 2025. This would entail any weekday during the day. I intent to graduate from Brock University's Child & Youth Studies program this Spring. I am planning on attending Nipissing's teacher's college in the Fall.
I have had the pleasure of nannying for a wonderful family for the past two summers. I mainly took care of their youngest who was an infant when I started. Additionally, I would help (when needed) with their two other children (6 and 8 years old). As I am an aspiring educator, I have experience in many classrooms at elementary schools as a teacher assistant for students between the ages of 4 to 12 years. I have also worked as a camp counsellor for a few summers! I also have experience as a Math and English tutor between kindergarten to grade 5.
I can do anything from changing diapers to preparing meals. This includes reading, helping with homework, and light housekeeping. As well, I can keep your child active as I have experience in being a dance assistant for all ages starting as early as age 5!
I have my G licence and I have access to a car if your child needs to be driven to school or any after-school activities!
I promise to be patient and respectful while always ensuring your child's safety comes first. My goal is to create memorable times for your child and form a strong bond with them!
