Hi, I’m Emma and seeking my next nanny opportunity with a wonderful family. I am the oldest of 5 children so I have grown up taking care of little ones. I have also babysat/ nannied for multiple family’s for the past 4 years wether it be for date nights or a more regular basis. As the oldest of my siblings, caregiving has always been a part of my day-to-day. So, naturally, I turned to childcare as a profession. I am choosing to further this through pursuing a career in pediatric nursing. In my last 2 years of high school I worked with Pre-K and Kindergarten as an assistant, as well as substitute when needed in elementary. In my free time I love being outdoors and will go skiing when I can, so I love to incorporate the outdoors when watching kids. I am so excited to meet your family and my hope in my time with you is to create a lasting impact through care, attention, and fun! Can’t wait to meet you!
