I’ve always had a deep love for working with children, a passion that started from growing up in a large family. Being surrounded by little ones my entire life taught me the importance of patience, kindness, and creating fun, engaging environments where children feel valued and safe. What I love most about working with children is their genuine curiosity, boundless energy, and unique perspectives. They have a way of bringing joy and light to every situation, and I feel privileged to be part of their lives during their formative years. Over the years, l've had the opportunity to care for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged kids, as well as special needs, which has taught me how to handle different situations with patience and adaptability. I have taken on a variety of jobs ranging from short-term care for a few hours to overnight stays lasting several days. I’ve gained valuable experience in adapting to different routines, personalities, and family needs. My ability to form connections with children quickly, understand their needs, and create a structured yet fun environment is something I pride myself on. What sets me apart is not just my experience but my genuine dedication to each child’s well-being and development. I go beyond simple supervision by actively engaging with children through activities that stimulate learning and creativity. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing educational games, or simply offering a listening ear, I strive to create a positive, supportive space. I understand the trust it takes to leave your children in someone else’s care, and I am committed to ensuring that your child feels safe, happy, and respected every step of the way.

Hi there, my name is Emily! I'm 28 years old, and studying to be a doula. I have a varied history of providing care for others and it's something I truly enjoy! I started babysitting when I was 16 and watched twin toddlers for date nights. Later on in life I became a Direct Support Professional (DSP) - I worked in a group home for developmentally disabled minors. For 2.5 years my responsibilities ranged from housekeeping and meal planning to personal care, night supervision, medication administration and transportation. Soon after, I narrowed my focus to helping families through pregnancy/postpartum support and childcare. After my best friend had her first child, I spent two weeks caring for her and the new baby. I became an assistant in a private daycare working with children ages 6 months to 3 years old. I cared for 6 children - leading them through morning circle time, activities, meal times, and supervised naps for a year. I am Adult & Pediatric/Infant CPR/AED/First Aid certified. I have been fingerprinted for my positions as a DSP and Daycare Assistant. My focus is on giving your child a safe and creative space to learn and grow. I love getting out in nature, baking, doing crafts, pretend play, and encouraging independent time. I am firm, but kind, and am happy to take your lead. Thank you for your time!
