I am a dedicated and compassionate childcare professional with multiple years of experience working in childcare facilities and providing babysitting services for children of various ages. I have a genuine passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive in a safe, nurturing, and positive environment. Throughout my childcare career, I have developed strong skills in supervising children, planning engaging activities, assisting with daily routines, supporting early learning, and maintaining a safe and structured setting. I enjoy building positive relationships with children and families while encouraging creativity, social development, and confidence. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, communication, reliability, and adaptability when caring for children. I take pride in creating meaningful experiences that help children feel supported, valued, and encouraged every day. Childcare is more than a job to me—it is something I truly love and find rewarding.

I am Emerson (they/he). I love art (especially painting), learning, music, and nature. I have experience working with a range of children including neurodivergent children and LGBTQ+ youth. I also have experience in deescalation strategies and creative thinking/problem solving. Roles I have held during my work with children include babysitter, child watch staff, group facilitator, and registered behavior technician (RBT). As a queer person with autism, I am passionate about providing culturally competent care where each child is accepted and empowered to be who they are. I enjoy following children's interests to bond, create learning opportunities, and have fun. I'm not scared to create a sneakily educational craft or activity on a dime, and I love having dance parties to your kid's favorite songs. I have a Bachelor's degree in Social Work, as well as a Master's of Arts in Communication. In the fall I will begin an MSW program, with the goal of becoming an LCSW for neurodivergent children. Have pets? No worries! I have 2 cats myself and have years of experiencing pet sitting as well. Browsing as I prepare to leave day job

My family has been fostering children since I was in 4th grade, and we've always had small children in the house that I've helped to raise/take care of. Taking after my mom, I LOVE children and have strong maternal instincts! Besides constantly helping out with kids around the house, I also have babysat for several different children in the past, as well as volunteering for Eco Camp two summers ago, where I was in charge of a medium sized group of children aged 5-12. Besides being able to help out a family in need, I'm hoping to earn some money to help out at college during the semester, as well as get quality time with little kids.
