Hi! My name is Emily, and I’m a compassionate and experienced caregiver with a deep love for working with children. With years of experience as a nanny, postpartum doula, behavioral technician, and English teacher in Thailand, I bring a well-rounded and thoughtful approach to childcare. I am currently in my second year of graduate school, studying to become a therapist, which has deepened my understanding of child development, emotional well-being, and the importance of creating a nurturing and supportive environment. In addition to my childcare experience, I’m also a certified yoga instructor and love incorporating mindfulness, movement, and creative play into my time with kids! Whether it’s engaging in fun activities, helping with homework, or maintaining routines, I provide a safe, warm, and structured space for children to thrive. I’m comfortable working with kids of all ages, including those with unique needs, and I prioritize clear communication with parents to Read more ensure the best possible care. I’d love the opportunity to support your family—feel free to reach out with any questions!
