About Erin

Experience: 10 yrs

I've spent more than 20 years working with children and absolutely love supporting families through every stage of development. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Child Development and a Master's in Social Work, and my experience ranges from newborn care through adolescence. Over the years, I've served as a traveling nanny, Infant Care Specialist, house manager, social worker, and behavior consultant, giving me a strong, well-rounded understanding of both child development and family dynamics. My background has allowed me to work with families from Dallas to Detroit and from D. C. to Paris, and I'm known for being adaptable, calm, and solutions-focused. Whether you're looking for support with sleep routines, toilet training, behavior challenges, or sibling dynamics, I meet children where they are and partner closely with parents to find what works best for their home. I truly value the chance to help children thrive, and I look forward to connecting with you.

Erin did a fantastic job watching our 9 month old son for an afternoon. She made the first time we had someone other than family watch our baby a stress-free event - for me, my wife, and our baby :) Her love of children was very evident, and our son took to her very quickly, smiling, laughing, and enjoying the time. I would absolutely recommend Erin, and I hope she can watch our child again in the near future during another date night I have with my wife.
