About Emma

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi, I'm Emma! I have over 20 years of paid babysitting and nanny experience. I've worked with children of all ages, and truly love building lasting, positive relationships with the families I serve. I've been babysitting since 2000 and nannying since 2007. I've been a swim instructor since 2004 and specialize in parent child participation classes and private lessons for all ages. I lived in Oregon the last 5 years running a bed and breakfast, teaching swim lessons and babysitting. I moved back to Grand Rapids in August 2025. I have a full-time nanny position through summer 2027. I'll be available again for full-time work when the school year starts in 2027. I am currently available for evening babysitting jobs and teaching private swim lessons to anyone who has their own pool. Happy to provide references upon request.

Emma was an invaluable part of our family, serving as nanny to our four children while also managing our household and rental property. She brought a rare combination of skills to the role — extensive childcare experience, a strong hospitality background, and genuine professionalism in every task she took on. What sets Emma apart is her intentionality. She approaches her work with an eye for perfection and a level of care that’s hard to come by. Whether she was caring for our kids, keeping our home running smoothly, or managing our rental, she handled it all with the same thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Emma is wonderful to work with — reliable, warm, and truly invested in the families she serves. We recommend her without hesitation.
