About Erin

I became a caregiver when my grandmother's health declined and I wanted to help keep her in her home. I understand how important it is for people to retain their independence and individuality as much as possible. I care about the people that I am helping to take care of and this will always be more than just a job to me. I love getting to know new people, especially from varying generations and cultures. I have been a caregiver for 6 years and have expirience in many different settings. I firmly believe that a positive attitude makes all the difference in someones day so I always strive to show up with a smile and make the most of every day.

    I became a caregiver when my grandmother needed someone to help her with household chores, errands, cooking, bathing, and help assist with going to the bathroom. After she passed away, I wanted to continue helping other people, and began working at an assisted living center for residents with Dementia and Alzheimer's. I love providing care, but also allowing them to still have their sense of independence. I am very passionate about giving people the quality of life, and I do whatever I can to maintain that. A personal achievement I am proud of is taking a leap and moving across the country by myself. I love to explore life, and find beauty in something everyday.
