Hello there, my name is Erin, and I am offering child-care, senior care, pet care, and household services.
I am an experienced caregiver and former stay-at-home mom who raised two daughters from infancy through adulthood (both are now in college). My years of hands-on parenting shaped my patience, emotional awareness, and understanding of children’s needs throughout all of the developmental stages. I also have extensive experience in household management duties, and am a good cook. I am happy to do the weekly shopping, errands, and light cleaning around the schedule of those I am caring for.
Additionally, I also have extensive experience in elderly care; I am a trained death doula and volunteer my time in hospice care - work that has deepened my presence, compassion, and ability to hold space with steadiness and care. I approach caregiving with maturity, respect, and a genuine commitment to creating a safe, nurturing environment for children and families. This volunteer work has become very meaningful to me after years of working with senior volunteers through a previous job managing a non-profit.
As for pets, I am the lucky owner of a little dog named Moxie, and have cared for many animals over my 44 years. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience with chickens, ducks, pigs, birds, rabbits, and goats.
Currently, and for the past seventeen years, I have spent much of my free time working as a paper artist, and I value creativity, curiosity, and thoughtful engagement. I love to incorporate creative activities and play into the time I get to spend with the children in my care.
I look forward to learning about your family and needs to see if we are all a good fit for one another :)
