Meet college nannies and sitters from Westmont College

Hi! My name is Erin and I'm the oldest of three kids and a recent(ish) college grad. I'm offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have experience working with babies and toddlers in a childcare setting, elementary school-age children in a sleep-away camp setting, and high schoolers in a residential dorm setting. I have a compassionate and collaborative approach to conflict resolution that prioritizes sensitivity and empathy to anyone I'm interacting with. I've led children in arts and crafts, games, and intentional conversations, which would translate well into taking children to the playground, on walks, or helping with homework. My pet sitting experience so far as been with cats and dogs (check in visits, feeding, walks, and clean up), but I'm definitely open to working with other pets. For household services, I can cook, clean, do laundry, and lightly organize.

I graduated from Westmont college in 2025 with a degree in psychology and theater. I have years of experience working with kids, including teaching middle school, one on one ABA therapy for children on the autism spectrum, and extensive childcare experience. My specialty is creativity and play. My background in psychology helps me understand emotional regulation, sensory needs, and individualized support strategies. I learned in my time in ABA that structure and rigidity has a place, but I prefer to have more of a genuine relationship with my kiddos. I like to play and get on their level, but know how to maintain respect as well. I’m trained in positive reinforcement and have experience navigating meltdowns and transitions calmly and supportively. I have developed and worked on theater festivals and productions with kids and love using theater, art, and storytelling as tools for connection, emotional expression, and learning through play. You can find me usually spending a lot of time training and entertaining my 2 year old Aussie-doodle with daily walks, hikes, and trips to the dog park!
