About Emma
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello, there! I go by Griffy (they/them), and I'm a sweet, energetic, and experienced caregiver and postpartum doula-in-training. I taught special education in California for 3 years, where I worked with students aged 11-14 with a range of intellectual, learning, and emotional disabilities. More recently I was a co-founder and caregiver for a childcare cooperative in Minneapolis. I have experience caring solo for infants as young as 2 weeks old and am up-to-date with my CPR (for infants, children, and adults) and First Aid training. I recently moved to NYC to start City College's Fiction Writing MFA. My schedule is flexible and I can travel to any borough! I'm looking for jobs that allow for the consistency I feel is important for bonds that let children feel safe and seen. My skills include creative play (I like to bring art materials and invent games), infant sleep and feeding, and building safe, appropriate bonds with children with disabilities and special needs.

Griffy cared for my daughter and I shortly after she was born, and they were absolutely amazing. It was tough to hand my baby over to anyone at that point but Griffy was so warm and nurturing and made it easy to step away and take a much needed break. They were also great at suggesting ways they could be helpful when my newborn mom brain was not able to think of things. Highly recommend!
