As a young child my mom did income daycare, so I grew up helping out with it. As well as helping raise my younger sister, after my mom passed away. I've continued to babysit when need be for neighbors, friends, family, and other children. I have been babysitting for at least 10 years, and have nannied for 3. lI've watched children of all ages, and feel extremely comfortable with them all. I've recently been watching a 3 year old and an infant, or an 8 and 10 year old. I've done many things with the children, making any meals, taking them to the pool, walks, the park, naps and bedtimes. I'm very artsy and enjoy doing crafts. I also love the outdoors, and would rather be outside then inside. I have no issues with any pets. I'm CPR certified, and can handle any situation comfortably. I do have my own car and am willing to take car of any drop offs or pick ups as needed. I am opened to anything! I also have a 6 month old that I would like to be able to tag along with me. I look forward to hearing from you!

I have raise my family and I am now a grandma to three children 7, 11 and 13. my husband and I moved here to be closer to them. I love babies and taking care of them. If you want your baby to be snuggled and we’ll cared for - I am your person. My husband and I have been foster parents for a baby/toddler with special needs. (Failure to thrive). I have coached my daughter in softball all through her elementary days. I was also a Girl Scout leader. For the last 13 years I have coached in a high school environment which would mean that I have had all my background checks and fingerprints on file with the police department. My specialty is new born - 18 months

With over 12 years of experience as a nanny, babysitter, and childcare professional, I am passionate about working with children and supporting their growth. I have also worked as a head preschool teacher and at an elementary school, giving me a well-rounded approach to childcare. I have a BS in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education. I am very hands on and love to keep children engaged with creative activities, crafts, books, and games. I always bring along extra ideas and activities to suit each child’s age and interests. I am patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. When I’m not caregiving I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling all over the world, playing tennis, and curling up to read a good book.

My wife and I feel incredibly lucky to have had Emily as part of our family for over a year. She cared for our two children (that are now ages 3 & 5) with so much warmth, sense of fun, genuine enthusiasm, and professionalism. She was always punctual, extremely reliable, and quick to respond, which gave us peace of mind. What truly set her apart was how hands-on she was with our kids. She regularly came prepared with thoughtful activities like crafts, games, toys, and books. She put so much effort into to making each day fun and enriching. She wasn’t a person to just supervised, she got down on the floor and played with them, stayed active, and built a real connection with our children. Our kids absolutely adored her and we clearly see how much she cared for them. Any family would be lucky to have her, we would recommend her without hesitation.

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and positive environment. Building connections with families and being someone they can trust is very rewarding to me. What experience do you have? I am the oldest of three children, which has given me natural caregiving experience from a young age. I also have experience supporting individuals through my work and have cared for children of different ages. What skills and training do you have? I am currently attending college for nursing, where I am learning valuable healthcare and caregiving skills. I have strong communication, patience, problem-solving, and supervision skills, and I am committed to providing safe and attentive care.

I love being a sitter because I value providing high-level, intentional care that supports both the child’s development and the family’s lifestyle. I take pride in creating a calm, structured, and nurturing environment where children feel secure, confident, and engaged. For me, being a nanny is not just childcare—it’s about becoming a trusted professional who contributes positively to a family’s daily flow and peace of mind. I have extensive professional experience working with children in both private childcare and structured behavioral settings. I’ve supported children of varying ages and needs, partnering closely with families to maintain routines, encourage emotional regulation, and foster healthy development. My background includes consistency, discretion, and adaptability—qualities that are especially important when supporting busy households. I bring a strong skill set in child development support, behavior management, emotional regulation, and routine-based care. With my training as a Registered Behavioral Technician, I am highly skilled in positive reinforcement, observation, and individualized support strategies. I am organized, detail-oriented, and proactive, with the ability to anticipate family needs, multitask efficiently, and maintain a polished, professional standard at all times.
