Meet Ericka
- Occupational Therapist
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
Hi! I am Ericka and I have over 23 years of experience working with children. I am a licensed and certified Pediatric Occupational Therapist of 10.5 years and counting. Therefore I am up to date on CPR and First Aid. I graduated with my Masters in Occupational Therapy Dec 2023. I am familiar with and comfortable working with children who are developing typically and children who have special needs (Autism, Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, etc). I am comfortable with pets, but I do have a cat allergy and wouldn't be able to babysit in homes with cats (which stinks because I like them!).
