My deepest foundation in caregiving was forged at home, where I grew up taking on the vital role of caring for my younger sister with Down Syndrome. This experience instilled in me an unparalleled level of patience, personalized attention, and advocacy. My commitment to the special needs community continued as I later served on the board for a local Special Olympics chapter, championing inclusion and well-being. From that beginning, I became the trusted caregiver for my community. I have been babysitting my whole life, recently stepping up for an extended, crucial four-day period (including overnights) for two young children under 10, ensuring their mother had a restorative break. My expertise truly shines in infant care: I spent four months as a dedicated live-in nanny. I volunteered for over three years, specializing in the care and development of babies from newborn to one year old. I approach every child with confidence, competence, and joy. I am happy to provide glowing references that attest to my reliability and the genuine positive impact I've had on families. I am eager to bring my lifetime of dedicated, motivational care to your family!

Honestly, I’ve always been surrounded by kids—my god daughter, my 12 little cousins, and all the kids I’ve taught to ride horses. Taking care of them just comes naturally. I’ve babysat for friends and family for years, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’m patient, protective, and I always try to show up for kids the way my mom always showed up for me.

Hi - My name Emeli Winkels and I will be starting my masters in Fall 2026. I am offering child care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old in High school. My responsibilities have included doing crafts, tutoring, feeding, cleaning, and supervising while playing outside. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with friendly dogs.

I’m a responsible and caring caregiver with hands-on experience caring for children as a mom. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, with a natural ability to create a safe, fun, and structured environment. I’m also comfortable helping with light housekeeping and daily routines, ensuring both kids and homes are well cared for.

I have many years of experience as a nanny taking care of infants and school age children. I work with infants, toddlers, and children of school age. I love working with them.
