A little bit about me
Hi I’m Sylvia a 23 year old mom to a sweet two year old boy and moving to Deerfield from out of state. I have years of caregiving experience working exclusively with children and individuals with special needs. I’m CPR certified and hold CBRF certifications in fire safety first aid and choking medication administration and standard precautions so safety is always a priority. I make it my business to treat every child as if they were my own just as I do with every client I’ve cared for. I’m also a college student studying accounting and possibly finance this semester which helps me stay organized and focused. I bring patience energy and reliability to every day and love engaging kids in fun age appropriate activities while keeping routines on track and helping busy families stay on top of daily life. Caring for others isn’t just a job for me it’s what I truly love to do and I’d be honored to support your family.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Erin Emory and I am currently about to turn 22 years old and graduate from the University of Arizona with a BA in Psychology. My background includes working as both a camp counselor and unit head, where I was responsible for children as young as three as well as teenagers. In these roles, I learned how to adapt my communication style to meet children at different developmental stages, understanding that behavior often reflects underlying needs and emotions. Additionally, through my mentorship experience at the University of Arizona, I worked closely with a child facing emotional and behavioral challenges, helping them build coping skills, confidence, and emotional awareness. These experiences strengthened my patience, empathy, and ability to respond thoughtfully in challenging situations. I also love to encourage fun and safe environments where kids can enjoy themselves!
