A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Erin and our family is relocating to Maine! I have over 12 years of professional nanny experience with children of all ages, from infants to school-age. I'm well-versed in special needs care, allergies, baby-led weaning, Montessori-inspired learning, and potty training. I also enjoy using tools like Lovevery to support development. I'm a proud mom to an 11-year-old and have experience caring for multiple children at once.

In addition to childcare, I worked four years as a caregiver for a woman with dementia and over four years as a medical scheduler in pediatric and adult primary care. These roles strengthened my organization, patience, and understanding.

I'm known for being kind, calm, reliable, and trustworthy. I'm happy to help with light housekeeping, errands, and meal prep. I truly enjoy helping families thrive and providing a safe, nurturing environment for children to grow. References available-| look forward to connecting with you!

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I'm a warm, creative, and hands-on nanny who truly enjoys helping children learn and grow through play. I love engaging kids with arts and crafts, sensory activities, storytime, and outdoor adventures like nature walks, playground visits, or sidewalk chalk fun.
Whether we're building Lego masterpieces, baking together, or doing simple science experiments, I always aim to make each day fun, safe, and enriching. I also enjoy helping with routines, quiet time, and age-appropriate learning activities to support each child's development. I bring calm energy, patience, and a genuine love for children into every home I work in.

The most important part about being a nanny...

is creating a safe, loving, and consistent environment where children can feel secure, be themselves, and grow. It's about building trust-not just with the kids, but with the whole family. I believe in showing up with patience, empathy, and a calm presence, while also encouraging creativity, learning, and independence. As a nanny, you're not just a caregiver-you're a role model, a support system, and sometimes even a child's favorite person, and I take that responsibility to heart.

My experience with special needs children...

I have hands-on experience caring for children with special needs, including autism (both verbal and nonverbal) and severe ADHD. This includes supporting my own child with ADHD and providing regular care for a child with nonverbal autism who also experienced frequent seizures. I understand the importance of structure, calm communication, and adapting to each child's individual needs. Whether it's helping with emotional regulation, sensory processing, or nonverbal cues, I'm committed to creating a patient, supportive environment where every child feels safe, understood, and empowered to grow.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments as a nanny was when a little boy I cared for for several months surprised me with a handmade card that said, "You're my favorite grown-up." We had spent the afternoon building forts, reading books, and baking cookies-just a regular day for me, but it clearly meant so much to him. That moment reminded me how meaningful it is to show up consistently, be present, and create a space where kids feel safe, loved, and free to be themselves.
