About Emalie

I have experience nannying newborns-5 years and have plenty of experience babysitting children of all ages. I am open to travel, overnights, and multiday care. I'm a strong proponent of gentle parenting, Montessori principles, child led imaginative play, and focusing on fostering connection. I enjoy spending time outside with children and encouraging learning through play and exploration. I have a bachelors degree in public health and community health education and am currently in graduate school. I served in two elementary schools where I lead hands on gardening and nutrition education lessons! I also have 5 years of experience leading group and individual swim lessons for children 3 months-12 years with a range of abilities. I have completed 100 hours of coursework related to lactation and newborn+ infant care. I have overnight experience with newborns. In my free time, you'll find me at the farmers market, making pottery, running, bouldering, or playing games with friends.
