About Emily

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi there! I'm an experienced caregiver with a Master's in Special Education, a background as an academic specialist, and 13+ years of nannying and babysitting experience. As I transition out of full-time teaching, I'm seeking part-time work, whether a consistent schedule, after-school help, or date nights. I'm strong at homework help and tutoring, and I love teaching executive functioning skills. I also support social-emotional growth, helping kids build coping and emotional regulation skills. Mentoring kids is one of my favorite parts of this work! As a certified yoga teacher who loves the outdoors and creativity, I encourage hands-on play, movement, and fresh air over screen time. I also have house management experience, from pick-ups and errands to organizing, scheduling, travel planning, and overnights, and I'm happy to help with light household tasks. If you're looking for someone reliable, creative, and caring, I'd love to connect!

Emily is a wonderful, bright and empathetic human. We were so fortunate to have her join our family when she did. She’s reliable, organized and goes above and beyond in all she does. She’s an excellent communicator, she’s positive, energetic and creative in her work with children. Bonus: She’s an excellent cook! Thank you Emily!
