Hi! My name is Emeli, and I'm a nursing student with a strong passion for childcare and helping families feel supported. I have over a year of hands-on childcare experience from working in my aunt's daycare, along with caring for younger siblings and additional childcare experience in home settings. I am CPR and First Aid certified and always prioritize safety, attentiveness, and creating a positive environment for the children I care for. I would describe myself as patient, nurturing, dependable, and organized. I genuinely enjoy working with children and making sure they feel safe, engaged, and cared for. I'm happy to help with playtime, routines, meals/snacks, homework, and being a reliable, supportive presence for families. I'm currently seeking babysitting or nanny opportunities and would love to connect with a family looking for someone kind, responsible, and trustworthy.
Emeli was absolutely wonderful with my two children, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver. From the very beginning, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly patient, taking the time to understand each of my kids’ personalities, routines, and needs. She created a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where they both felt comfortable and happy, and it was clear how much she genuinely cared about their well-being. She kept them engaged with creative activities, helped with homework, and made sure they stayed on schedule with meals, naps, and bedtime routines. What stood out most was her attentiveness and ability to handle any situation calmly and responsibly, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My kids absolutely adored her and would always look forward to the time they spent together. I highly recommend Emeli to any family looking for a reliable, caring, and dedicated caregiver—she truly goes above and beyond.
