About Emily

Experience: 1 yr

Fostering a child's growth and development is my greatest passion, and I am dedicated to making a positive, lasting impact on the families I support. With a year of experience caring for up to three children, I specialize in engaging ages four through 11. My background in Early Child Development coursework allows me to integrate educational games into our daily routine. I am a patient, creative caregiver who enjoys organizing outdoor sports, puzzles, and arts and crafts. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and am happy to assist with cooking, carpooling, and light housekeeping. I prioritize your preferences for communication to ensure you stay updated on your child's day. I am currently in school pursing elementary education. I truly look forward to bringing my friendly, imaginative approach into your home to help your children thrive.

Emily has been our date night babysitter for a few years now. She was recommended by a family friend and we’ve stuck with her since. My 8 & 9 year olds love her. She’s attentive, playful, and gentle. Her calm demeanor is what helped my kids warm up to her almost immediately. I highly recommend her!
