Erin $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Erin! I have about 8 years of childcare experience and currently work as a Certified Child Life Specialist at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. Caring for children has always been my passion, and I love helping kids feel safe, confident, and have fun. I’m patient, dependable, and creative, and I enjoy everything from crafts and imaginative play to outdoor adventures and helping with homework. I’m experienced with children of all ages, including those with medical or developmental needs, and I’m comfortable with meal prep, bedtime routines, transportation, light housekeeping, and pet care. My goal is to create a positive, caring environment where children can thrive and parents can feel completely at ease knowing their family is in good hands.
