Hi, my name is Erin, and I was inspired to care for the elderly 15 years ago as I witnessed my great-grandmother age. We tried several skilled nursing facilities and I was appalled at the way most of them treated their patients. Grandma became a number, instead of an individual. My grandmother deserved the best care! This lead our family to look into in-home care. Shortly after my grandmother passed, I embarked on my career working with people to help them thrive in their home environment. I have been blessed to meet many wonderful people and families! As well as have many enriching experiences. My experience includes but is not limited to companionship, bathing, dressing, medication assistance, meal preparation, dementia care (Alzheimer, Parkinson's, Lewy Body, etc.), diabetes care, post-stroke care, physical therapy, transportation to and from appointments, Hospice care, Hoyer Lift experience. I am CPR and first aid trained. Please reach out to further discuss your care needs.
In the winter of 2022, my family faced the difficult task of finding care for both of my parents. We first tried a senior living facility in Oxnard (which will remain nameless), but it quickly became clear that it wasn’t the right fit. Next, we hired an agency to send caregivers into my parents’ home. Unfortunately, the experience was frustrating. The caregivers often didn’t seem qualified, the company constantly nickel-and-dimed us, and trying to get a case manager on the phone was next to impossible. We felt like nobody truly cared about our parents’ well-being. Just when it seemed like all hope was lost, I found Erin through Care.com — and everything changed. She was a breath of fresh air in an otherwise cold and impersonal industry. Erin is a one-stop shop: she runs her business with true professionalism while leading with her heart. I’ll never forget something she told my wife and me: “I will only give your parents the kind of care I would expect for my own parents or grandparents.” Erin kept that promise every single day. She gave my parents the quality of life they so richly deserved. In the summer of 2024, we lost my dad. Erin was right there, making sure my mom was comforted and our entire family felt supported. At the beginning of 2025, we lost my mom. By then, Erin had become my mom’s favorite person — and I was more than okay with that, because of the way she treated her. Erin brought love, compassion, and dignity into my mom’s final days. She was at my mom’s side when she passed. As I walked into the room that night, my mom looked at me and said: “Thank you for bringing me my own personal Mary Poppins.” My mom passed later that night. While we were devastated to lose the matriarch of our family, we also grieved the thought of losing Erin. She had become more than a caregiver; she had become family. I even found myself wondering how I could keep her in our lives, but I realized that Erin’s gift is meant to be shared with other families. She truly is a Mary Poppins — the kind of caregiver who will change your loved one’s life, and yours. I cannot recommend Erin highly enough. To us, she was never just a caregiver. She was family, and she always will be. Michael-West Lake village
