Ericka has worked in various dynamic roles at BATGO, Inc. since February 2000. At BATGO, Inc., She works with a dynamic team of colleagues and Treatment Foster Parents. As a team, they display a source of pride in helping our youth navigate being in out-of-home placements.

Nadine Anderson

Case Worker

Nadine started out working as a pediatric medical tech and worked in that area for 15 years. I then decided that she wanted to do more, so she went back to school and graduated from Coppin State College and attended the University of MD School of Social Work. As a social worker Nadine has worked for several agencies and maintained several positions over the years. Asst. Program Manager promoted to Program Manager where she managed a Teen Parent Program. Later as a Recruiter/Trainer/Monitor, She was recruited and trained individuals to become foster parents. Nadine maintained this position for 16 years before retiring in 2016. Nadine discovered that she was not ready to sit at home doing nothing, so she returned to work and took a job with BATGO, where she maintained the position of Case Worker. She enjoys working with my youth and is constantly amazed at their resilience and ability to make the best of their situations.
