Qualified Professional
Hello, my name is Ericka Bacchus. I’m originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and I’ve been a resident of Durham, NC for many years. My experience includes working as a caregiver for 12 years, as well as a background with the IDD population over a span of 4 years. I hold an Associate's degree in Divinity, which is a human services degree, and I am actively pursuing higher education.
I volunteer in my local church assembly as a youth leader, and I am also a registered homeschool teacher with credentials as a certified substitute teacher through the Wake County School System. With my diverse background, I plan to encourage, inspire, and uplift every individual whose path I cross. Finally, “Winners aren’t people who never fail, but people who never quit.” (Vince Lombardi)

Public Relations
Public Relations
Public Relations Porsha is a 16-month-old Great Dane. At LBC, we believe you should bring up a child in the ways that it should go, and that includes our dog. Her job as a Public Relations representative is to make new people comfortable when we have visitors at the office. Unfortunately, Porsha is very shy at this point, but we’re sure that over time, she will grow into her position.
Porsha loves running around while looking like a goofy puppy just learning to run and taking rides in the car. She loves taking care of her family as well as their grandkids. Her dad loves that she can come to the office and simply sleep under his desk and be happy.
