Hi! My name is Erika, and I'm a caring, patient, and dependable childcare provider with both professional and personal experience supporting children of all abilities. I am a mom to three sons, including a nonverbal autistic child, which has deeply shaped the way I approach childcare with compassion, understanding, and patience. I currently work as a paraprofessional in a school setting, where I support children academically, emotionally, and behaviorally. I am especially comfortable working with children on the autism spectrum and children with communication differences. As a parent, I understand how important trust, safety, and consistency are. I focus on creating a calm, nurturing environment, following routines, engaging children through play and learning, and communicating openly with families. My goal is always to partner with parents and provide care that aligns with each child's unique needs and the family's values.
We’re so grateful for our Erika’s help. She supported my mom in caring for my two young kids (5 and 1) so I could attend a wedding that my husband was a groomsman. My mom loves to watch her grandkids but watching two by herself has some challenges due to some slight mobility issues. I asked Erika if she was willing to lend a hand, knowing it was an unusual ask, and she said yes! We found Erika to be friendly, reliable, communicative and great with the kids, helping keep them happy and on routine for bedtime. We’d definitely reach out to Erika again for babysitting needs!
