About Erica

I'm an easygoing person who is not easily stressed and have been told I have a great sense of humor. I pay great attention to detail, have a precise memory, and always strive to improve in whatever I'm doing. When caring for my clients, these attributes allowed me to provide them with high quality care. When I previously worked as a supervisor in a group home, the quality of care for my clients drastically increased as a result along with staff retention. It was incredibly rewarding to see my clients' improvement over time, whether that meant greater comfort or more independence, I was most encouraged to work hard for them for the sake of the improvement in their wellbeing.
