My name is Emily. I am currently a Special Education Teacher at an elementary school. I have a degree in Early Childhood Development and Special Education. Most of my teaching has been in an inclusive preschool setting. I'm considering taking a year off from teaching and would like to help families in the community. I've worked with High Schoolers that need some extra tutoring, I've done food preparation for parents, administered medicine, and have watched twins of varying ages. My passion is for the little ones. Getting down on their level and watching them learn and grow just amazes me. I've been babysitting since I was old enough and have nannied for several families in different situations. I have a reliable vehicle, don't smoke, and I'm CPR certified.
I cannot recommend Emily highly enough. She is one of those rare people who naturally brings patience, warmth, and genuine care into every interaction she has with children. I have two kids with special needs, and finding someone who can truly meet them where they are—emotionally, mentally, and physically—is not easy. Emily does that effortlessly. She is incredibly attentive, intuitive, and calm, even in moments that can be overwhelming. She doesn’t just “watch” kids—she connects with them, learns them, and creates a space where they feel safe, understood, and valued. What stands out most about Emily is her ability to adapt. She pays attention to routines, sensory needs, communication styles, and emotional cues, and responds in a way that supports each child as an individual. My kids are comfortable with her, which says everything. They trust her, and that peace of mind is priceless as a parent. She is also reliable, communicative, and deeply compassionate. You can tell this isn’t just a job for her—she genuinely cares. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have Emily as their nanny.
