Erica E. Care Companion in Brandon, FL 33511

Erica has been with my son since he was about 8 months old, he's now almost 3 1/2. She has been so very wonderful with him. She truly loves him, and he loves her. He has never batted an eye when I left, he thoroughly enjoys his time with Miss Erica. Erica has always kept my son engaged with creative activities - no electronics! They paint, play piano, build toys, go to the park, ride bikes, go on nature walks. The list goes on. She is very attuned to my son's needs and discusses his development with me. Erica always considers safety first and would not do anything that she believes might put my son in harm's way. Erica always gives me a run down of their day - activities, eating, mood changes, potty breaks; she keeps me very well informed, there are never any surprises (other than beautiful artwork!!) Erica always makes sure to leave my house in better shape than she found it. And that is always so appreciated - nothing better than coming home to a happy child and a picked up house! Erica has always asked about our discipline methods and has followed our lead (not that she's had too very often), but she wants to know how she's expected to handle any inappropriate behavior. My son and I will tremendously miss our Miss Erica, when we move. She has been such a great part of his life, helping him become a well mannered, creative little fellow. She has shared her heart with him, and he loves her, a mom could not ask for anything better from a caregiver.

As a mom looking for assistance to help with your children you always pray first then let your gut lead you. I am so happy my gut lead me to Ms. Erica. Her patience, productive time management, expertise, and always helpful suggestions were a God sent. She exceeded my expectations. Ms. Erica was called upon to help my son with piano lessons. My 7 year-old is a picky eater, energetic, and a boy with a short attention span. If you are not talking about Minecraft forget about it! Erica was able to get him to focus and want to learn the notes, rhythm, and reason. I also have a 7 week old who has stranger anxiety. She liked Ms. Erica which, also made me know I made the right choice asking her for assistance. Small children intellect towards grown-ups means a lot to me. I think the pick up the make-up and intentions of the person. I would definitely recommend Ms. Erica to anyone in need of help, someone reliable and trustworthy.

Erica cared for our three dogs and fish for five days while we were cramming in a last minute summer vacation. She was very professional and obviously cares for animals a great deal. Upon our return we found our animals happy, healthy and thoroughly loved. She did a great job and we will definitely use her again.
