About Emily
Experience: 6 yrs
Hi parents! I'm Emily- a dedicated and CPR/First Aid-certified caregiver with over five years of professional experience, specializing in early childhood care for infants through age five. My approach to childcare centers on creativity, curiosity, and play-based learning-I prioritize hands-on, screen-free activities such as arts and crafts, sensory play, storytelling, and outdoor exploration to keep little ones engaged and thriving. Above all, I believe in working in full tandem with parents. I view my role as a supportive extension of your home, focusing on open communication, respecting your parenting style, and seamlessly maintaining your established nap, feeding, and potty-training routines. Whether I am caring for up to three children or helping out with the family pets, safety and peace of mind are always my top priorities. I would love to connect, learn more about your family's unique needs, and see how I can support your household!
Most recent review
Emily was an absolute blessing to both me and my son during an incredibly difficult time. She came to help when my son was just 5 weeks old, and I was still recovering from multiple infections related to my delivery. I then developed mastitis on top of everything else, making it even harder to care for my newborn. Emily was kind, dependable, compassionate, and wonderful with my son. She cared for him with patience and gentleness, helping me during a the toughest time. She also took great care of me, offering support wherever it was needed and helping ease the overwhelming stress of those early postpartum weeks. Her presence made such a difference for us, and I will always be grateful for her help. I recommend Emily to any family looking for someone who is trustworthy, nurturing, professional, and genuinely cares about the people she is helping.
