A little bit about me

Hello! I have 15+ years of childcare experience. I started with babysitting, then started daycare work. For the past 3 years, it's been nanny work for 2 wonderful families. Now that all kiddos are in school, I am searching for more work. I am CPR and first aide certified. I believe in a Montessori approach. I'm big on imagination, outdoor activities, reading, art projects, science experiments, and other educational crafts. Part-time positions, or a full time position are welcome. I am available for school pick up, and am well acquainted with the juggle of housework, cooking, and childcare/ entertainment. I provide outings to The Duluth Children's Museum, Aquarium, playgrounds, picnics, and special events. I am a mother to 2 little ones who often come along, during nannying shifts. My experience with nannying, ranges from 3 infants, to 6 children, ages 2 to 7. Please feel free to message, with any questions! Thanks for reading!

"Our family loves Emilee! We hired Emilee as part of a nanny-share to care for our son (from age 6M to 18M). We were so sad to leave Emilee when our family relocated in the Summer of 2018. Emilee is a fantastic caregiver. She is kind, energetic, and fully engages with the children under her care. Our nanny share included 3-young children (including Emilee's daughter) and we were so impressed by her ability to manage and thrive in the chaos! She devotes her attention to each child ensuring the needs of each individual is met. Emilee is highly responsible, timely, and trustworthy. I highly encourage you to consider her for your childcare needs. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions. "

"For nearly two full years (beginning September 2017) Emilee provided full-time care to our youngest daughter, who is now 27 months old, as well as after-school and summer care for our oldest daughter (6 years). We were incredibly happy with her service and the excellent care she have provided for our girls. Emilee is an amazing caretaker, very good with children of all ages, and a wonderful person to work with. She has strong communication skills, and always came up with fun and creative activities for our kids. And I always appreciated her flexibility, never complaining if my husband or I were running late, needed to adjust the girls’ schedules, or request she change part of the daily routine. "

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I am mama to an infant and a 6 year old . I have worked as a nanny, for multiple families, over the last 14 years. I also have experience in daycare centers, and with special needs children.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy taking children in my care, on outings- hiking at Hartley Nature Center, The Zoo, Duluth Children's Museum, The Aquarium, and settings like that. I have memberships for the Children's Museum, and The Aquarium. For in days, where it's just too cold, or road conditions are too unsafe- activities range with age. We do a lot of baking, homemade playdoh, paint wheels, beading, and other art or science projects. To get out energy on those days, I often find a structured routine to lead, or a game.

The most important part about being a nanny...

As a nanny, doing your job well, means the world. Making sure you're present and available to the children in your care, helps ensure their needs will all be acknowledged, and met. Respecting their need to get out energy and grow, ensures they will always have safe and creative outlets available. Just like healthy food helps physical growth, fresh air and exploration, assists with healthy mental and emotional growth. I think it's all equally important.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience with children with autism, and other sensory disorders.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I have a lot of favorites, but my ultimate favorite year, would have to be when I had 3 infants. I would care one in the Ergo (front facing baby carrier), and one in each arm, and we would tell stories. Our long stroller walks, to go play in a park or on the swings, were equally as precious.
