Hi, I'm Erica. I have experience supporting both children and adults with a range of special needs - including those on the autism spectrum, individuals with developmental delays, and elderly clients living with dementia or physical disabilities. I bring a calm, patient, and respectful presence to every situation, always working at the individual's pace and comfort level. Whether it's helping with routines, offering companionship, preparing meals, or creating a stable, comforting environment, I aim to support in a way that's kind, consistent, and empowering. I'm also open to learning and adapting to your loved one's specific care needs.
