A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Emma and I’m the eldest of four siblings — so caring for little ones has been a big part of my life from the start. Growing up, I helped babysit and care for my younger siblings, assisting with everything from meals and playtime to homework and bedtime routines.
In high school and college, I began babysitting for other families and have since gained over five years of experience caring for children ranging from 1 to 10 years old. One of my longest experiences was with a family whose children were 1 and 3 when I started — I watched them grow and loved being a part of their early years.
I’d describe myself as helpful, responsible, patient, and great with kids. I enjoy engaging with children through fun activities, reading, and helping with schoolwork. My goal is always to create a safe, caring, and positive environment where kids can learn, play, and thrive.
