I am able to create an environment where children will feel nurtured and understood. In my past years of babysitting and nannying, I was exposed to various different situations in which I dealt with patience and kindness. I kept the children entertained and engaged with a variety of activities. I maintained strong communication skills with both the children and their parents. I am very flexible and am ready to adapt to whatever the situation may be. I have excellent time management skills that will keep me and your children on track throughout the day to ensure the children have an enriching and fulfilling experience!

Hi! I’m Emma! I have 11 years of childcare experience working with neurotypical and neurodivergent children ranging from infancy through early twenties. I have been a nanny for 4 years, babysitter for 9 years, aftercare school provider for 2 years, and an outpatient activity coordinator working with children for 1 year. I have a Bachelor’s degree in family and human services, and it is something I am truly passionate and knowledgeable about. I am CPR and first aid certified. I am comfortable working in a house where parents are present (work from home, hybrid work) and if there are dogs! I am reliable and will always prioritize your child's safety and cognitive/social development. I am always present with the child and always foster a fun and comfortable environment! I always will encourage limited screen time, extra time outdoors, socialization (parks, library, free classes, etc), and cognitive and developmental growth. Having lots of experience with children has provided me with a plethora of skills and resources to be able to provide the best care for your child(ren). I am responsible, very organized, and will always follow rules, parenting styles, etc. which parents ask me to follow. I am well versed in sleep training, homework assistance, tutoring, and much more. Being with children brings me so much joy! I love seeing children grow their personalities, discover new interests and notice the world around them. Seeing the world through a child's eyes is so magical and it is something that makes me so happy! I would love to talk more about my experience, my hopes as a nanny, and how I can best accommodate your families needs!

“Caring, responsible, Native Spanish speaker, with good understanding of English babysitter with experience raising three children and a passion for creating safe, nurturing, and fun environments for kids.” I am a 53-year-old woman and a university graduate in my home country. Most of my childcare experience comes from raising my three children, who are now 25, 23, and 17 years old. Through this, I developed a deep passion for caring for children and supporting their growth at every stage. I truly enjoy creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where little ones can learn through play, crafts, music, and age-appropriate developmental activities. I am patient, caring, and very responsible, always attentive to children’s needs. I am physically and mentally healthy, family-oriented, and raised with strong values. I am fully documented to live and work in the U.S., have my own vehicle, and hold a clean driver’s license. CPR & First Aid certified through the American Red Cross. Certifications are available and up to date. My native language is Spanish, and I can communicate effectively in English. Families also appreciate that I can expose children to Spanish through songs, games, and everyday interaction if desired. I am fully available on Wednesdays (all day). On other days, my availability is mainly in the afternoons and evenings, but I am open to arranging a schedule that works best for your family.
