Hi! My name is Erin, and I’m a student at Iowa State in Ames, majoring in Interior Design. Alongside my studies, I’ve always had a passion for working with kids. In high school, I regularly babysat a group of three to seven children after school once a week, and I also provided summer care for many of the same families. Most of my experience is with children ages 4–9, though I have also cared for toddlers (18 months+) in my church nursery.

My experience includes creating fun, safe environments, helping with routines, and supporting children’s emotional and social needs. I am going into special education, so I have training in working with diverse learners and supporting children with special needs.

My number one priority is to keep the children happy and safe.
