Hello, I'm Emily! Through the summers of college and after obtaining my undergrad degree in Early Childhood Education, have worked with children in preschools as a preschool teacher. I decided to shift to full-time nannying to invest in a few children. My goal is to be able to connect with and invest in a family for a number of years. I want to develop personal relationships with the children and see how they grow and change throughout the years. As a classroom teacher, I was unable to really get to know each child as an individual. I was able to understand their learning style, but I did not experience their full personality. From my experience, the student-teacher relationship is a lot less personal than the child-nanny relationship. Your students may confide in you once in a while, but not often. As a nanny, the children often confide in you about Read more their proudest moments and what they are struggling with. Unlike most jobs, nannying is never dull or boring. It’s ever-changing and you learn and grow through the journey. I really like the fact that every day is different. Some days are packed with set plans and activities while other days are wide open. There are so many opportunities to be creative and think outside the box as a nanny. In fact, I would argue that this is an essential skill of an awesome nanny. Kids love when you come up with a fun game or art project for them to work on! I'm ready to help out!
