We began working with Erin in 2014, at that time Erin was still studying in University and we had hired her as a part time babysitter to watch our 1 year old daughter.  Erin was always very reliable and trustworthy.

As time went on, Erin completed her studies and our family grew.  She continued to babysit for us occasionally, then eventually became our full time nanny for our three young children-including our newborn.  Erin was always a hard worker, and very empathic to my needs as a new mother (especially much needed sleep).  She would take the children to/from activities, entertain them with creative craft ideas, as well as meal prep/clean, whatever I needed at the time Erin was always happy to help out. 

To this day, Erin remains close with our family and we consider her a great friend.  Even though some time has past since she has been our nanny, we still keep in touch and our children are always very excited to see her and catch up.  

Although we never worked with Erin as a Doula we have no reservations recommending her to any family.

Erin was the reassuring presence during labour. She is rather discreet, but when you look back, you realise that she made your life easier during every moment. I was really happy to have her by my side, she provided me with helpful massages, helped with positions and breathing. In early labour she was counting the contractions, estimating their intensity, and giving the info to my midwife until I took the decision to go to the hospital. I only had to focus on myself, she was doing the rest. Thanks Erin !!

I am so thankful that we were able to have Erin attend the birth of our second child. She has such a friendly and welcoming presence, and it was easy to feel comfortable inviting her into such a vulnerable and special moment. Her touch is strong yet gentle, and she encouraged me to believe in my body more than I thought I could. She was also quick to answer questions and give support and reassurance postpartum. I am so glad that we were able to have her as a part of our team.
