Hello! My name is Emma, and I’m from Chicago. My first language is English, but I’m also fluent in Italian. I have 3 years of experience working with children ages 1–13. Over the years, I’ve also gained experience with all types of animals, from dogs and cats to ferrets and snakes. In addition to childcare, I can cook, run errands, and handle other household tasks. I have a valid driver’s license and a car which is registered and insured to me.
“Emma was great with our two active boys! She kept them entertained and drove them to activities. ”
I'm 21 and have 5 years of nannying experience, starting part-time and moving to full-time at 18. I've cared for children aged 6 weeks-9 years, including those with developmental delays, mild autism, and an infant on oxygen. I hold CPR and first aid certifications and can provide references from previous families. My approach to childcare is gentle and firm, considering the children's thoughts and feelings while maintaining leadership. I emphasize outdoor play, reading, and Montessori practices over screen time. I'm seeking a job with around 25-30 hours a week, Monday-Friday.
I'm passionate about supporting families and providing reliable childcare. My ten years of experience have allowed me to develop my skills and knowledge in early child development. I'm patient, calm, and creative, and I love playing games with children, from educational games to outdoor sports. Whether it's through verbal communication or the parents' preferred method, I keep open lines of communication. I'm also very comfortable enforcing household rules. I'm happy to help with cooking, meal prep, carpooling, travel, crafts, and supervising swimming. I have a car, am comfortable with pets, and have completed coursework in early child development. I'm certified in CPR and First Aid. I'm confident I can provide a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for your children.
I have worked with kids for a few years now. I have worked as a tutor, a daycare worker, and currently I work at a recreation center in Loveland. I also currently mentor a 9-year-old kid in school. I am very passionate about childcare and plan to become an elementary school teacher. So, more childcare experience would greatly help!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
