Hi! I’m currently a full time School Psychology graduate student, but I babysit on my free time. I have my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Law and Criminal Behavior and I’m currently in my 2nd year of my grad program- so I enjoy taking the role of homework helper! I also love crafts, board games, and music. All in all, I grew up with different babysitters and want to leave the same impact on kiddos that they left on me. Thank you for taking the time to read my bio, can’t wait to meet!

Hello! My name is Emily, and I’m a caregiver, tutor, and youth mentor with over 12 years of experience working with children in a variety of settings. I’ve supported children since my teens through roles in teaching, daycare management, tutoring, nannying, music instruction, and community outreach, and I am deeply committed to helping children feel safe, supported, and confident as they grow. I am currently an undergraduate student preparing for a Master’s in Psychology (LMFT track) while completing coursework toward certification as a Substance Abuse Counselor. My background includes work with children across K–8 environments, as well as coaching, tutoring, and volunteering in programs serving youth facing food insecurity and limited caregiver support. Professional experience includes tutoring, nannying, piano teaching, substitute teaching, and daycare management, alongside long-term volunteer work in youth outreach, homeless outreach, children’s coaching, and community programs. I also volunteer locally at an animal shelter. I would be happy to connect, answer any questions, and provide references, a resume, and a background check upon request.

Hi!! I'm a very outgoing and friendly person who has several years of experience working with children in different fields such as daycares and home sitting for a wide range of ages. Along with that I also have younger siblings which I’ve cared for from time to time over the years. I’m engaging, responsible, and the perfect “role model” for a sitter. Besides nannying I really enjoy baking and cooking (I plan on owning my own bakery in the future!), being outdoors, reading, and all things art related. Along with providing supervision and care for your children I can also help with cooking/meal prepping, cleaning, laundry, running errands etc. I'm very openminded in regards to what is wanted and needed from me. With me I always strive to go above and beyond with whatever task I'm giving and can ensure a safe, supervised, happy, and encouraging environment for your children :)
