Hi, I'm Emma! I bring a little bit of sunshine and kindness to every child's life that I meet. That's genuinely just who I am. I've been caring for babies and toddlers for over 15 years and my love for it has never wavered. Every child I look after gets my whole heart, the same way I'd give it to my own. I'm on the floor with them, making up silly songs, dancing around the kitchen, doing messy play and loving every second of it. I find what genuinely lights each child up and build around that, because connection is everything!! I have Montessori experience and I'm also a paediatric. sleep consultant, so I understand little ones on a deeper level. My niece lives back in England and I FaceTime her any chance I get. Missing her is probably why I pour so much love into every child I meet over here. I can't wait to meet you and your little one!
We met Emma when she was working at our daughter's daycare, and honestly, she stood out from day one. Our daughter would come home almost every day talking about "Emma, my best friend!" As a parent, seeing your kid that excited about someone says a lot, and you could just tell how safe and happy she felt around her. Emma was warm and easy to talk to, both with our daughter and with us. She made the effort to actually get to know every family, not just the kids, and nothing was ever too much for her. You could tell this wasn't just a job for her, she genuinely loves working with children. When she left the daycare, our daughter kept asking about her for weeks, so eventually we asked if she'd be open to babysitting. She said yes, and honestly we were thrilled. The second they saw each other again, it was like no time had passed, that bond was real. We're not people who hand our daughter over to just anyone. It took a long time to feel comfortable enough to leave her with someone outside the family. But with Emma, there was no hesitation at all. We knew she'd be looked after and having fun. After that first evening of babysitting, our daughter wouldn't stop talking about everything they got up to, and kept asking when Emma was coming back. Since then, she's become our go-to whenever we need someone. Honestly, Emma is one of those people kids just gravitate toward naturally. She's calm, genuine, and it's obvious she really gets children. We'd recommend her to any family!
