I have been taking care of my siblings and foster siblings since I was about 7 years old. I have worked with children with medical problems. I am very social, outgoing, and I love to have a good laugh. I also do very well at cleaning and cooking although I’m not very highly skilled in cooking.
Hello! My name is Erinn. I am 33 years and have a 15 year old daughter. I have a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and a Master’s degree in Special Education with a certification in Autism Spectrum Disorders. I have been working with children for 12 years and teaching for 10 years. I am currently a Pre-K teacher for Columbus City Schools. I love working with children of all ages.
Since the age of 12, I have naturally embraced the role of a caregiver. As a mother of six children, whose ages range from 7 to 16, I have firsthand experience in nurturing and guiding young minds. My involvement extends beyond my family; I volunteer in children's church services, where I care for infants and toddlers, ensuring they are engaged and structured during their time there. Professionally, I work as a juvenile corrections officer for the state of Ohio, interacting daily with youth from all over the state. This role has deepened my passion for helping young people navigate their challenges, and I find fulfillment in making a positive impact in their lives. I believe my experiences allow me to offer valuable support to children and families, and I would love to bring that dedication to your household. Additionally, I have a profound appreciation for the elder generation. Raised by my maternal grandmother, I cherish the lessons and wisdom she imparted. In her later years, I had the honor of being there for her, planning her final wishes and ensuring her comfort. This experience has reinforced my understanding of the value of companionship and care for our elders. I would be grateful for the opportunity to share my love and experience with both the younger and older generations in your family. Thank you for considering my application.

Currently, I am transitioning to focus on writing and music career, and would like part time work to support myself. I'm flexible, independent, and fun. I believe in making children feel safe above all things. I love music, art, dance, and games and share those activities with children. I am dancer with education and teaching experience in ballet, tap, jazz, modern, and musical theater. I have play piano and bass currently.
“It’s our first time working with Angelique. So far our 1 and 2 year old didn’t fuss. They played with her and did not cry ”
