About Erin

Experience: 1 yr

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hi there! I am a clinical social worker with a full-time job. However, I do have educational loans I'm trying to pay off. I am hoping to find some extra income, while also being able to help out someone else in need. I've cared for children off and on since I was in my teens. I'm a godmother to a 3 y. o and an "auntie" to many of my friend's children. I'm playful and responsible and believe in play beyond a TV or tablet screen. References available. Love dogs and cats! Have pet-sitting experience and can provide references. I help care for aging parents and have worked with older adults for much of my professional career (I was a bereavement counselor for a hospice organization prior to my move to Oncology counseling, which I do now). I find patience, humor, and respect to go a long way when working with older adults (well, anyone, really). I love to engage in meaningful conversation, games, crafts, movies, walks, or time spent outside. I'm flexible to meet the needs of others.
