Hi Parents! I am CPR and First Aid certified. I'm a new parent to a beautiful nine month old. I am interested in providing in-home care to one or two other children part time. We have a beautiful home with lots of opportunities to play and learn, including cooking, time in the garden, reading, and doing art. We are close to playgrounds and parks! I love being goofy and having fun with kids and love arts and crafts and sensory play. I am comfortable helping out with homework and study skills.

“Em got along great with my 5 year old, and was really helpful while I took my online class. ”

I absolutely love kids at all ages, and I’m a sucker for new borns! When I was young, I used to babysit all of the neighborhood kids and get nanny jobs with close friends, neighbors, and family. I am a black belt in karate and used to teach the toddler class after school. My instructor chose me because the kiddos loved me! As a single mom with my oldest (who is now 19), and him having life threatening asthma from birth, I was very hands on and hyper attentive to his needs. Being the sole person responsible for his care, medication, routines, and lifestyle activities within his capacity, I was very patient, loving, and supportive with him physically, mentally, and emotionally. It wasn’t easy but I loved being there for him and I still do! I have an almost 4 year old toddler now and I’m very hands on with him as well. As a certified Life Coach who specializes in emotional care and regulation, I work with mom’s and families to heal relational trauma and help them to create healthy dynamics between the parent and children, as well as helping mom’s especially build deep connections with their kids and find healthy ways to manage meltdowns and tantrums through connection vs correction and harsh punishments. It is a deep passion of mine to work with families and offer support through nanny services as well as creating a peaceful home environment for everyone in the household. Anything I can do to make life easier for you, I’m open for it!

Active, fun loving mom of 2 grown daughters. I love to hike, walk, bike ride, snowshoe, play pickleball, do arts & crafts, etc. I started my career working at child care centers and after graduating college, I worked in healthcare for several years. I have always loved working with children of all ages, including babies and teens! I am CPR and First Aide Certified. I am also very responsible and dependable. I will interact with your child through game play, arts & crafts, being outside, reading, laughing and having fun!

“So incredibly helpful and patient and sweet! She even helped bake while the baby slept! Super nanny!”
