Hello all! My name is Emma, and I am a current doctorate student at Hofstra studying clinical psychology. I have been babysitting/nannying for over 10 years now and have a master’s in human development and education from Harvard’s graduate school of education. This past year I nannied and weekend sat for families with children ranging in age from 6 months to 12 years. I love taking kids to play outside at parks, doing crafts and coloring, and answering questions from inquisitive little ones. In addition, I am a certified lifeguard with three years of experience and have also taught swim lessons to 1-10 year olds for over five years. I currently teach private swim lessons in NYC. Contact me if it sounds like I'd be a good fit to your family, I look forward to hearing from you! References by request.

Hello — my name is Melissa! I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I am a former elementary school teacher with interests in education/tutoring, reading, and spending time outdoors. My subject matter expertise while teaching was math and science for elementary students, but I have worked with children as young as toddlers up through high school age. I started babysitting and tutoring when I was in middle school and have worked with children throughout college and my career. I am also offering household services such as laundry, house sitting, and pet care.

Professionally, I have been working as an outdoor educator for students of all ages for almost 20 years. I have seen many different types of children and have a good sense for what they need, want, and how to keep them engaged and healthy. I am a certified Wilderness First Responder, and so have extensive training in first aid along with CPR. Non-professionally, I have lots of experience with babies and toddlers by coming from a large family and having lots of friends with little children. I am new to Tucson and looking to make connections in the local community, and this seems like a great way! I love kids of all ages and personalities, and really shine when doing creative projects, playing games or exploring nature. I love to cook and have done so professionally for years. I am a jack of all trades and happy to help with whatever needs doing!
