Hello! My name is Emily. I am a pediatric speech therapist. I love children and have worked with kids of all ages throughout my life in varying roles from nanny to therapist. I decided to become a sitter because in therapy, my time working with a child was typically limited to a 30-minute timeframe; additionally, more of my time was spent writing lengthy justifications for insurance companies than working with the child. The reason I chose to work with children is that I enjoy them! And I want to spend time with them, engaging them on all levels. I was a single parent (until my daughter was 10 years of age) before meeting my amazing husband who I've now been married to for 24 years! Although we have become empty-nesters, I remember the challenges that come with parenting, and I have extreme gratitude for those who supported me through the years with their time, love, and encouragement. P.S. I now have a grandson and granddaughter who are the apples of my eye (I promise, it is the best role ever)! From my early years of caring for younger siblings and/or cousins, baby-sitting, and eventually enjoying my friend’s kids, I have always had an innate talent for meeting kids where they are...for seeing their needs and their talents and helping, listening, and encouraging them in their daily activities and/or struggles. I believe children need to feel loved, heard, challenged, and inspired, and that is one of my greatest desires. Plainly said, I have a huge heart for children and feel a strong calling to help them become their very best selves. I have a background in music (vocal performance) and love to implement music throughout my daily life. I also enjoy animals, baking, arts and crafts, reading, bird-watching, and spending time outdoors (especially anything water-related). I like routines, I am a neatnik (although I appreciate a good mess in the name of adventure), I choose creativity over screen-time, and I am a stickler for good manners and respect for others.

Emily is incredible!! So kind and warm and genuine. My son is picky about who he likes and he LOVED her. They made paper airplanes, swam , dance party...he didn't even care that I left he was having such a great time.

NOT LOOKING FOR A JOB. Hi! I'm Michelle and I am a student at the University of Texas at Austin and a dance teacher! I would describe myself as hardworking, optimistic, and reliable! Working with kids allows me to grow into the best person I can be through their different interests and lifestyles. I am nurturing and have always wanted to work with kids as they give a fun and loving purpose to the job. I am patient with kids and open-minded to changes and suggestions to fit a families needs. I have about 6 years of experience with all ages, and caring for multiple kids at a time. I have been CPR and First Aid certified in the past and would not mind to get certified again if needed

Caring for others has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. As the oldest of three siblings, I learned early on how to nurture, support, and create a sense of safety for them. That instinct only deepened as I raised my two daughters, help care for my three grandsons, and spend over eight years working in a childcare environment. Several families have personally entrusted me with their child outside the childcare environment. I am currently a preschool teacher, and I truly enjoy going to work each day. Supporting children as they learn, grow, and express themselves is something I genuinely love. I have also had the privilege of caring for my mother during her journey with early-onset Alzheimer’s. That experience strengthened my patience, compassion, and ability to show up with steadiness during difficult seasons. Whether caring for children, seniors, or pets (I’ve never met one I didn’t connect with)! I bring warmth, reliability, and heartfelt attention to every family I work with. I would be honored to provide thoughtful, personal care whenever it’s needed.

We feel incredibly grateful to have Evelyn in our lives. We first connected through our daughters, my 3yr old attends the Montessori school where Evelyn’s daughter is a teacher, and she is Maeve’s favorite! Seeing the love, presence, and care her daughter brought to everyone in the school made it easy for us to trust Evelyn from the beginning. I mean, she raised such a human! lol And…like mother, like daughter. Evelyn is kind, patient, communicative, dependable, and often available on short notice (which has helped us out tremendously!) She has been caring for Maeve on occasional nights and weekends for about a year now, and we truly love and trust her completely. We’ve only had positive experiences, and any family would be lucky to have her.
