About Emily

Experience: 8 yrs

Fostering a child's growth and development is my true passion, and I have dedicated the last eight years to making a positive impact on the lives of the children I care for. My approach is patient, calm, and creative, ensuring that every child feels supported and engaged. I hold First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications, and my Early Child Development coursework informs how I guide children through every stage of their day. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or engaging in educational games, I prioritize active learning. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules and am happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and crafts. Since I am a skilled swimmer, I am happy to provide swimming supervision. I follow your preferred communication method to ensure you feel connected to your child's daily progress. I look forward to becoming a trusted partner in your family's life.

I have known Emily for many years and have had the pleasure of witnessing her work with children from infancy through preschool age. She is kind, caring, patient, and genuinely passionate about working with young children. Emily has a wonderfully gentle approach to teaching and always creates a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to learn. She is incredibly patient and knows how to engage children in a way that makes learning enjoyable and fun. Her ability to connect with children of different ages and personalities is truly special. Emily brings enthusiasm, creativity, and kindness to everything she does, and it is clear that she genuinely cares about the children in her care. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a caring, dedicated, and engaging educator. She is a wonderful person who brings out the best in the children she works with.
