My name is Emma and I am a passionate, experienced teacher and educator with a goal to make a difference for the families I work with. I have over 18 years of childcare experience and have worked in Spain, France and Switzerland in addition to the US as a nanny and babysitter as well as private tutor for children ages 5 months-18. I was born in the United States (Connecticut) and have worked in the public and private school system in the northeastern United States, California, Hawaii and France and Switzerland. I taught preschool and elementary school for over 11 years, after graduating from Smith College. In addition, I recently began teaching high school French, ELL and Spanish. I am currently a high school French teacher at an international school in Thornwood New York. My overall childcare experience began in 2007, when I started working as a nanny in CT; from there, I continued throughout my teaching career to do childcare work. I hold a B.A. in French and Education from Smith College (Northampton, MA, USA, May 2007) and a Masters degree in Educational Sciences from University of Geneva ( Geneva, Switzerland, June, 2023). The summer of 2023, I worked as a live-in Aupair for a family in Sant Cugat, Catalonia, Spain, and learned basic Spanish during this time. I believe in diversity, inclusion and that all children thrive in a stimulating environment that meets their individual needs in a creative way. I really love the work I do with young children. (I am passionate about working with all ages, but particularly enjoy working with babies). I'm reliable, energetic and professional. Whether as a short-term solution or long-term support, I look forward to creating a supportive, loving and authentic relationship with families. I am currently looking for a part-time babysitting/nannying job this summer (2025)

Hello! My name is Jordan. I have a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood and Childhood Education with a concentration in English and a Masters degree in Literacy through Pace University! I have completed hundreds of hours student teaching as well as occasionally substituting when needed. I am originally from Long Island, New York and for the past two winters I have lived in Hawaii then Puerto Rico. I love babysitting and have been doing so since I was 12 years old for family and friends! I have experiences with a large range of ages from both babysitting and teaching. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs. Additionally, I am open to doing some house work. I can cook, clean, and run errands.

Jordan was so great & our kids loved her. Definitely would recommend
