About Emily

Experience: 3 yrs

Hello family! I'm a patient, creative, and loving person with a strong work ethic and a passion for caring for children. I bring diligence and attention to detail to every task, whether it's engaging in fun, educational activities or ensuring a safe and nurturing environment. I approach every job with dedication, always giving my best. With my experience, I'm committed to supporting children's growth and happiness in a positive and safe space. I've also cared for up to three children at once for a family over two years. I take pride in being reliable, hardworking, and attentive to the needs of children. I am also experienced in senior caregiving, having worked closely with elderly individuals, and found great joy in assisting them with their daily needs. My experience extends to being the oldest of five siblings, which has shaped me into a nurturing, dependable, and hard-working caregiver. I look forward to meeting a family that needs help and supporting them with loving care.

I am writing this letter with my highest and most enthusiastic recommendation for Emily Z. Emily has been an invaluable part of our family as our nanny, and I cannot overstate the positive impact she has had on our household and, most importantly, on our child. Emily brings an exceptional work ethic to her role every single day. She is reliable, proactive, and consistently attentive to the details that matter most when caring for a young child. Safety is always her top priority, and she approaches caregiving with a calm, thoughtful presence that immediately inspires trust. As parents, we have always felt completely confident leaving our child in her care. She is also an effective and proactive communicator. Emily keeps us well informed about our toddler’s day, developmental milestones, and any observations or suggestions she may have. Her clear, thoughtful communication style makes her a true partner in caregiving and helps ensure consistency between parents and caregiver. What truly sets Emily apart is her patience and natural intuition with children. She has an innate ability to read a child’s needs—often before they are even expressed—and responds with warmth, empathy, and confidence. Her interactions with our toddler are incredibly natural and engaging; she doesn’t just supervise, she genuinely connects. Whether through play, conversation, or everyday routines, Emily fosters a sense of security, joy, and curiosity. Emily is highly attuned to our toddler’s daily routine and has been instrumental in implementing it consistently. She understands the importance of structure for young children and supports naps, meals, activities, and transitions with care and intention. She also prepares his meals and is mindful of nutrition and mealtime routines. In addition, Emily is creative and proactive in suggesting and introducing new activities to support our toddler’s development. She regularly takes him to social and enrichment activities, including outings to the park, story time at our local library, and MyGym classes. These experiences keep him active, engaged, and social while supporting both physical and cognitive development. In short, Emily is a rare find. She is compassionate, attentive, safety-focused, communicative, and deeply committed to the well-being and growth of the children in her care. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her, and I recommend her without hesitation or reservation.
