Hi, I'm Emily! I am a former middle school science teacher with a B. S. in Education from UMD and an M. S in Education from John's Hopkins. I have years of experience working with children in a variety of settings, including teaching, tutoring, and babysitting children as young as 2 months old. I love helping kids feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I enjoy finding activities that fit each child's age and interests, whether that's crafts, reading, outdoor play, or helping with homework. My background in education has taught me to be patient, flexible, and calm, and I'm comfortable adapting to each child's personality and routine. In my free time, I love to crochet, cook, exercise, and spend time with family and friends. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a caring, positive environment for your child.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Emily. She has been with our family since our boys were born and has been nothing short of amazing every step of the way. Caring for two little boys only 14 months apart — now ages 1 and 2 — is no easy task, and she handles it with so much patience, confidence, warmth, and capability. She is exceptionally trustworthy, dependable, and calm under pressure. From the newborn stage through toddlerhood, she has consistently shown incredible judgment, reliability, and genuine love for our children. We have always felt complete peace of mind knowing our boys are in her care. Our children absolutely adore her, and it’s easy to see why. She is engaging, attentive, nurturing, and truly invested in their happiness and development. She goes above and beyond to keep them safe, entertained, loved, and on routine, all while bringing such a positive energy into our home. Beyond being wonderful with children, she is professional, proactive, communicative, and someone we trust wholeheartedly. She has become such an important part of our family, and we truly cannot recommend her highly enough. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her.
