Meet Erin

- Comfortable with pets
I'm 25 years of age, and have been working with children and offering my services as a childcare provider since I was old enough to do so. I have a great deal of experience including teacher assistant-ship, after-school programs, camp counseling, overnights, and working on-call. My childcare skills include potty training, preparing meals, transporting to and from school, planning recreational activities, establishing bedtime routine, etc. I have about 10 years of babysitting experience, and two years of nanny experience, with a wide range of families and various age children. I've worked with and cared for children with physical and developmental disabilities, and have a 4-year degree in Speech Therapy. I love outdoor activities, animals, crafts, drama, and music, and always try to integrate these themes into activities and games with children. I'm also great with homework help, conflict resolution, and first aid. I have recently finished two years of AmeriCorps Read more service here in Alamosa. My first year was spent as a homeless shelter case worker, and my second year I served as a community educator and volunteer coordinator. This experience has greatly strengthened my passion for service to others, as well as my passion to advocate for the impoverished, hungry, and homeless. I believe my qualities of responsibility, positivity, teamwork, attention to detail, and affinity for working with children all help me to be best qualified to care for your children. Some of my hobbies include writing poetry and short stories, cooking and baking, crafts, horseback riding, and hiking.
