About Emily

Hi! I'm Emily -- a dependable, compassionate caregiver based in Pittsburgh. I've been caring for children since I was 16 and have experience supporting families through a wide range of needs -- from childcare and respite care to elder companionship and pet sitting. I have personal experience providing end-of-life and respite care after caring for my father during hospice. That time taught me deep patience, emotional steadiness, and how to offer both practical help and gentle companionship. I understand how meaningful it is for families to have someone they trust during sensitive times. For childcare, I bring calm structure, creativity, and flexibility -- helping kids feel safe and engaged whether we're doing crafts, homework, or outdoor play. For pet care, I've worked through Wag and privately with Pittsburgh families, offering walks, drop-ins, and in-home sitting for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities.
