Hello, I'm Emily! I'm a fun-loving, dependable, and experienced childcare professional with 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I have loved working for many families as a nanny, babysitter, and tutor. I have a BS degree in Elementary Education, have studied Early Childhood Development. I am currently continuing my education in Speech-Language Pathology, which has given me an even deeper appreciation for how children learn, communicate, and grow. When I'm caring for children, I love being hands on, creative, and engaged. I'm not afraid to get on the floor and play! Whether we're reading books, doing crafts, playing outside, building forts, exploring a new activity, or simply using our imaginations, I love creating fun and meaningful experiences. I also understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and at ease when they are away from their little ones. I take the responsibility of caring for children very seriously.
I have had the pleasure of having Emily as our nanny for over three years, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. With three young boys, Emily was truly a lifesaver. She is caring, compassionate, dependable, and trustworthy, and my boys were always so happy and excited when she came over. Emily always came prepared with a bag full of fun and educational toys, games, and activities for the boys. I never had to worry about them simply being put in front of the TV. She made an effort to keep them engaged, learning, and having fun, and they would often talk about the activities they did with her long after she left. Emily quickly became someone our family could count on and someone my boys genuinely loved spending time with. If you are looking for a wonderful nanny or an occasional babysitter, I highly recommend Emily. She is a truly special caregiver, and any family would be lucky to have her.
