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 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!
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.
Hi. I’m a college student at Colorado State University and I’m looking forward to helping families with their childcare needs. I’m responsible, dependable, and enjoy spending time with kids of all ages. I have a lot of experience being around children through my own family. I have a younger sister who is seven years younger than me, so I’ve had years of experience helping with a younger child, keeping her entertained, and being someone she can count on. I’m comfortable playing games, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and keeping kids active and engaged. As a college student, I’ve also developed strong time-management and organizational skills, and I understand the importance of being punctual and dependable. I’m happy to follow a family’s routines and expectations and want parents to feel comfortable knowing their kids are in good hands. I have played sports since a very young age and love to be active - especially basketball that I played last year in college. I have my own car and am able to drive myself to and from your home. I’m friendly, patient, and easygoing, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family.
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.
