About Erica

Experience: 11 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I am an experienced caregiver with over a decade of experience. As a licensed pediatric occupational therapist and a parent myself, I have a deep understanding of child development and a passion for nurturing children's growth. I am known for my creativity, friendly, and energetic personality, which makes me a natural at keeping children engaged and entertained. I believe in open communication with parents and provide regular updates about their child's day. I am confident in enforcing household rules and ensuring a safe and structured environment for the children in my care. Whether it's playing outdoor games, engaging in board games, or participating in educational activities, I strive to make every moment a fun and enriching experience for the children I care for.

I first met Erica at school. She was my daughter 's Occupational Therapist. She was so passionate and very creative. She always had new ways of challenging my daughter while still making it really fun. Then covid hit and to say the least it was challenging to do OT via zoom for a child with cognitive disabilities. We spent quite a bit of time and had many conversations trying to figure it out. Through this we grew a friendship. She ended up coming to our home to work with her. She is an over and above person who genuinely cares for humans with differences. It's been a few years now and our friendship continues to grow. I have been in her home on several occasions and met her beautiful family. Her home is clean, happy and full of play-based learning adventures for her adorable son. She is a truly exemplary human. I would think anyone she cares for in her home will be very lucky not only because of her education as an occupational therapist, but because of the way she loves her family, friends and community.
