I am currently a Licensed Master's Social Worker with an educational background centered on child mental health. For more than 13 years, I have worked with children of all ages and developmental stages (from newborns to teenagers) in a variety of settings. I have interacted with children and families as an occasional babysitter, a full-time nanny, a house manager, a Social Worker, and a volunteer. I have helped families with everything from implementing a home-based curriculum, to managing the challenges of colic, and addressing the social awkwardness of the adolescent years. I have also learned to adapt to just about any setting. I have traveled with families on vacations and summer retreats, I have worked within a family's shared custody arrangement, and I have provided temporary care for local vacationing families. As a Social Worker, I have also offered social services to families in need. With my diverse background and advanced education, I am certain you will find my professionalism and maturity particularly comforting. My goal is for you to have the peace of mind that comes with knowing your child is receiving the very best of care in your absence. Whether I am providing an evening of babysitting, overseeing your son's healthy diet, addressing your daughter's special needs, or helping your family manage a hectic schedule, I am committed to respectfully helping you and your child. Thank you so much for taking time to learn more about me. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to talking with you! Erin

    Erin and her cousin Jessica have been babysitting for me for a while now and I have never had babysitters as amazing as them!! My children absolutely love them! My son is seven years old with severe disabilities and seizures and they are amazing with him! My four year old daughter practically pushes me out of the house when they get here. They always engage my kids in fun and educational activities. I feel completely at ease when they are watching my kids. I would highly recommend them!!!
