A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Emma! I am a licensed RN, and I recently moved back to Northern California after working as a PICU Nurse in Chicago. Now that I am back home, I’m looking to pivot from bedside nursing. I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2025, and during those years, I was a part-time nanny/family assistant for a family I adored. In addition to my background, my entire family works in grade-school education, so working and spending time with children is all I know! I’m very reliable, warm, and love to have fun with the kids I work with. My hobbies include staying active through yoga/working out, spending time by the beach, snowboarding in the winter, reading, and playing/watching sports. Please reach out if you feel I would be a good match!

"Estefanys helped take care of my kids for a few months, and we absolutely loved having her around. She’s so sweet, patient, and really connected with the children. They were always excited to see her, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. She has such a kind and caring way with kids, it really shows how much she enjoys being around them. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat to any family looking for someone loving and trustworthy."
