Hi I’m Emily and I’m a mom of 2 children and a dog. Before I became a mom I babysat children for over 10 years. I have also been a nanny in the past and worked at a daycare for several years. I love children and animals. I have a dog and I love taking care of other people’s dogs and cats. I treat other people’s pets as my own. Same goes for children! I’m happy to babysit for an occasional date night or come pet sit for you while you are away!
