A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Emily.
For 10+ years I have worked with children (newborns to 16 years). I have been employed as a daycare associate, babysitter, tutor and nanny. As a nanny I provide childcare, educational activities, outdoor exploration, age appropriate games and play, transportation to school/activities and assist with homework/tutoring. Happy to provide light housekeeping. I am also available weekends, overnights and for travel. I am CPR and first aid certified.
My passion lies with children working as a partner with the parent(s), fostering a fun, loving environment to watch them grow into incredible tiny humans and amazing young adults. I believe in helping children through their day with patience, kindness and a genuine concern for their well-being.

A little bit about me

My name is Cece Ulrich . I am a Junior at Rockhurst University majoring in elementary education.
I have over 8 years of childcare experience working with children of various ages and abilities.

’ve spent years working with children through coaching and teaching. I’ve led structured activities for kids ages 5–12 at Woods Tennis Center and Wilderness Ridge Country Club & Resort, and I’ve assisted with lessons in both school and community settings, including programs through ACEing Autism and Tennis Without Limits.

I’ve also worked with children of all ability levels, including those with disabilities, through Lincoln Tennis Buddies and Special Olympics. These experiences have helped me build strong communication, patience, and classroom management skills, while learning how to adapt to each child’s individual needs.


I have gained experience working with elementary students through classroom observations in various schools, teaching lessons, and leading small-group instruction.
