My Summary
About Me
Hi
My name is Erica and I live in Jesmond with my husband Stephen and our two children, Martha (12) and Ayrton (10).
I provide childcare in a relaxed home based setting. I focus on learning through play and on the interests of the children in my care. We have lots of trips out to libraries, parks, museums etc, as well as lots of fun activities at home.
Please get in touch for an informal chat if you think I could help with your childcare needs. You can find my details on the Children and Families Newcastle site.

I honestly could not be happier with Erica! We feel so lucky to have found her.
Matteo spends Monday to Thursday with Erica and he is always so happy and well looked after. It is lovely to see how comfortable and settled he is with her.
Valentina absolutely loves going to Erica’s house after school and is always excited about the fun activities she has planned for them. They both really enjoy the lovely homemade meals she prepares too!
Erica creates such a warm, caring and welcoming environment, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing that both our children are happy and in such good hands.
I could not recommend her highly enough!
