Hi! I'm a college student in Chicago and the oldest of six kids, so caring for children has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a big family taught me patience, responsibility, and how to keep things both organized and fun. I babysat all throughout high school and have experience with kids of different ages and personalities. I love bringing a creative, upbeat energy to childcare - whether that's crafts, games, reading, or just finding new ways to make everyday routines more fun. I'm also happy to help with light housekeeping and keeping things tidy. I really value open communication with parents and will always keep you updated in whatever way you prefer so you feel comfortable and in the loop. At the same time, I'm confident setting boundaries and sticking to household rules to make sure your kids feel safe and supported. I'd love the chance to get to know your family and be someone you can truly rely on!
Emily watched my 7 year old daughter for the larger part of a day, helping her through meal times and bed time. I’m the sole parent for my child, and she has a lot of separation anxiety. Before their time together, Emily made herself available to FaceTime me with my kiddo, let her ask some questions, and helped her feel less nervous. On the day she was to watch her, she sat down with both of us and just hung out until my child felt comfortable and safe. My daughter is looking forward to another visit with Emily in the future.
