Hello! My name is Erin and I have been working with children in multiple settings for over 12 years. I just graduated this May with my Doctorate of Occupational therapy from Tufts University. I am back in the Hershey/Hummelstown area from May 27th - June 21st and available to babysit on an as needed basis. More about me: I have extensive experience working with children on the autism spectrum and children with other physical, cognitive, and intellectual disabilities. After taking my licensure exam, I plan to work in pediatrics and inpatient rehab as an occupational therapist. I began babysitting at age 13 for local families in my neighborhood growing up. I also worked full-time at a summer day camp through my town's parks and recreation department during the summers of 2017 and 2018. I have also spent 1 week each summer for the past 7 years volunteering at a camp Read more for children with congenital heart disease. My approach to babysitting is to be actively engaged with the children through play. I love to learn about each child's unique interests while prioritizing safety and fun in all situations!
