About Erika

Experience: 10 yrs

I am engaged, caring, reliable (haven't called out once in 11+ years), flexible, supportive, and energetic. I am excited to go to work everyday and I can honestly say "I love my job!" I enjoy children of all ages but prefer to start caring for them at infancy so they feel secure in all their phases of development. I pride myself on long term relationships with the families I have been employed by. Employment has only ended with my families due to their life change events (moved out of state, parent left career). My responsibilities include but aren't limited to: meal prep, child's laundry, tidy up, daily log, transportation and supervision of school drop offs/pick up, field trips, medical appointments, sports/dance practices/games, library, museum and park outings, crafts, remote learning. I believe in general teaching of respect and manners for themselves and others and to be consistent with a daily routine to foster confidence and a feeling of security within your child.

Erika comes with natural capabilities to care and nourish all stages of childcare. She is patient, kind and understands meeting children with her heart in their emotional and physical levels. Erika encourages growth in all areas such as creativity in art, imagination play, and encouraging unique curiosity....a gifted culinarian who enjoys sharing that talent...She is extremely dedicated and embraces the importance of the health and safety of children.... A presence that every child will feel well connected and secure.
