Meet Emily
- Speaks English
- Comfortable with pets
Hi there! My name is Emily, and I've been babysitting for 10 years. I love working with kids, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable at home, even when you're not there. My experience includes working for a family with a special needs child (Downs Syndrome, diabetic, multiple food allergies), large active families, and smaller families with shy and quiet kids. I'm a Vassar graduate, I love singing and playing pretend games, and I make amazing banana chocolate chip bread. I'd rather make sure your children have an afternoon learning how to make french toast than an afternoon spent watching TV or on the computer. I've been Red Cross certified for 7 years, and have a valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
