About Erin

I have extensive experience with adults and adolescents with mental illness/developmental disabilities. Experience with adults with Alzheimer's and dementia for over 5 years as well. I started out assisting in teaching western horse back riding lessons to children and adults for over 10 years, I worked my way to babysitting and private care to adults with IDD. And then began working with agencies that provided services to adults and children with mental health and IDD diagnosis. My passion is working with people, especially those diagnosed with physical or mental disabilities.

I try to approach life with a sense of humor even when things get rough it helps to try to find the bright side of a situation. I've been taking care of people since my late teens when my grandmother fell ill with cancer. It just turned out to be something I'm good at and that I like doing. The job can be tough but it is also very rewarding. I just enjoy taking care of people.
