About Erica

Hi, I'm Erica! I'm pursuing my Master of Social Work and am especially interested in working with children. I've been babysitting for years, and my studies have helped me better understand how kids grow, express their emotions, and feel safe and supported. I bring patience and warmth to caregiving and take the time to get to know each child. I love how genuine and curious kids are. One of my favorite parts of babysitting is seeing them get excited about something they just learned or feel proud of something they did on their own. I'm looking to work with a family within a 15-minute drive of East Rock in New Haven, ideally right in the neighborhood! I balance classes and an internship, so I'd love to find a regular schedule that works for both of us. In my free time, I enjoy going for walks, working out, reading, listening to podcasts, and practicing yoga.
