Erica has surprised us with her amazing care for our 1.5 year old son. He is very happy with Erica. We are impressed with her structured and methodical approach in her teaching the children everyday. Her setting is warm and welcoming, and she encourage the children to explore and she makes the children feeling safe and secured, and that is really what every parents need. We can see the children will benefit from her long term chilcare. We admire her passion, her innovative approach and her heartfelt care for the children. Her food looks so yummy and our son has been eating extremely well and contented with a big smile.

Thank you.
I really appreciate it.
see you soon.

Erica has always done a fantastic job when looking after my child. She has a lovely way with children and she knows how to make them feel settled and safe in a new environment. Erica is flexible and understands the anxiety a parent feels when leaving their child for the first time; she put both me and my child at ease. I am very grateful to have Erica near by to baby sit when I need her, I highly reccomend her services!
