Hi! I'm a passionate nanny with years of experience caring for children of all ages — newborns, toddlers, and preteens alike. I started nannying in high school and carried it all the way through college because it's something I truly love. I’m now working as a Compliance Consultant and want to spend the rest of my afternoons/evenings with even more fulfillment. I'm compassionate, dependable, and genuinely invested in every child's growth and wellbeing. I enjoy supporting developmental goals, helping with homework, and being a warm, steady presence families can count on. I'm also CPR and first aid certified for extra peace of mind. I'd love to learn more about your family — feel free to reach out!
I have a lot of experience working with kids. I have been a gymnastics coach for the last four years working with infants all the way to teenagers. As a coach, my responsibilities have included running both classes, private lessons and summer camps. Classes and private lessons have really taught me how to most effectively communicate with kids, whereas working at the summer camps has allowed me to tap into my creativity, coming up with games and crafts that kids actually enjoy. I have always babysat on the side in addition to coaching, so I am also very familiar with any household tasks that might be expected of me- bedtime, making dinners, etc! If you have pets, I am happy to look after them as well. I grew up with two dogs and have a mini dachshund myself now- I love animals! I am very adaptable to your families needs and always communicate to the best of my abilities. Additionally, I am CPR and first aid certified!
I am currently a full-time student at American University, graduating in May 2026 with a degree in Political Science. Outside of school, I enjoy staying active, which helps me bring plenty of energy and engagement to any enviorment I work in. I have experience in a variety of roles, including internships, food service, and other customer-facing positions, that have strengthened my communication, organization, and problem solving skills. I’m outgoing, friendly, responsible, easygoing, and comfortable managing routines. Thank you for considering my profile, hope to chat soon!
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!
I raised two children as a single parent and have some experience as a professional sitter. I am a freelance writer looking for extra income. I have an advanced degree and can tutor in many subjects, especially writing. I have also had dogs most of my adult life and have some experience with cats.
