Hello, I am a fun, loving and energetic person who enjoys working with children. I am a Kindergarten teacher who loves what she does! I have a ton of experience working with all different ages. I also have worked for a few different day care centers and have 9+ years experience working with children with ages ranging from 6 weeks old to 12 years old. I love using my creative outlook to make learning fun and enjoyable for kids. I also love playing games and interacting on a personal level with all children. I have a 3 year old I would like to bring with me on jobs as well.

Super appreciated the care Emily provided our 18 month old. Our daughter has had very, very few babysitters and Emily was kind and warm, played with her and easily rolled with it when our gal got upset. Thank you, Emily, for your patience and care!

Hi! My name is Jessica. I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on a neurology floor, and I’ve been caring for kids since 2018. I started babysitting back in high school and have worked with children of all ages: from newborns to teens. I’m currently in nursing school, so I take babysitting jobs for date nights and occasional needs. I’m CPR and Basic Life Support certified, calm under pressure, and experienced with medical situations. I’ve worked with infants as young as two weeks, toddlers, school-age kids, pre-teens, and children on the autism spectrum. I love creating a safe, happy, and structured environment where kids feel comfortable and parents can fully relax. A little about me personally: I’m married to my amazing husband, and we have a sweet cat named Oscar. I enjoy doing crafts, reading stories, going outside for walks, cooking simple kid-friendly meals, and helping with homework. I also have reliable transportation and am comfortable with pets. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with; many families describe me as warm, dependable, and great with kids. Whether it’s bedtime routines, bottle feeding, playtime, or simply keeping the evening running smoothly, I’m here to help! Looking forward to supporting your family for date nights, special events, and occasional babysitting needs!

Very involved and engaged.
