“Erica was with us from January through March. I was having a tough recovery from a c-section and both me and my husband desperately needed some sleep.
We appreciated that Erica is a skilled professional and valued that she does this work out of a sincere love for newborns and children. It gave us peace of mind trusting our most precious thing in life to her care.”

Custom quotes based on destination and duration
“Erica’s natural ability to support the family is unparalleled. She has a refined system that keeps everything efficient and organized, making her an asset to any household.
While we tried to provide what we thought she needed for the job, Erica arrived already prepared with everything she needed—and even shared helpful tips, products, and shortcuts that we hadn’t thought of.
One of the things I most admire about Erica is her ability to strike the perfect balance between being involved and giving others the space they need.”
