About Emily

Hi there, I'm Emily! I'm a mom to a 1-year-old boy and looking to share our days with one or two other special kiddos. I am always learning and growing as a human being and a parent, but have come to develop a few core philosophies that shape my behavior as a caregiver and mother. First, I believe that children innately want to be helpful and feel valued that way, so I provide my child with plenty of experience with "real world" tasks, such as helping me unload the dishwasher, vacuum, and clean. I believe in plenty of fresh air and time spent outdoors. I believe in whole foods, especially fruits and vegetables, little to no added sugar, and lots of exposure to new tastes and textures at a young age. I've done a lot of volunteer work with children, such as helping second and fifth graders with their reading skills. I love reading with kids! I also have some experience with disabled children, having helped in a highschool special needs classroom.
