A little bit about me

Hi ! I'm Emily. (PSA: $30- up/HR )

I've been a nanny for over 8 years for towns such as Maplewood, East Orange, Scotch Plains, Warren, Westfield, & Somerset.

I love working with children& have always felt such a gravitation towards making their childhood and lives memorable. I studied childhood development while I was in undergrad & I'm currently in Graduate school for Physical Therapy. I'm pretty flexible with hours but can't work Friday-Sunday because thats when I have class.

I enjoy doing arts and crafts, taking the child(ren) out to the park, aquariums, beach & almost anywhere to get them stimulated & to experience new things. I love singing songs, writing, dancing & playing enrichment games.

I am used to changing diapers, potty training, sleep training, doing laundry, food prep, showers, pick up/drop offs and setting up play dates or outdoor events like music class or tumble classes.

I drive, am CPR certified & want to meet a family who can give a long term commitment.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important thing for a Nanny to be is committed.

Theres nothing more that I value in life than full commitment. Children deserve to be heard, attended to, loved, feel appreciated and listened to.
When someone is not consistent, and their commitment falls through (ex: they call out or quit abruptly without a proper transition), it can negatively affect the child's trust and emotions going forward.

I always make sure I am upfront and put what I can officially commit to out there so that there are no issues on either end.

My experience with special needs children...

I used to work at the YMCA so have experience working with special needs children.

I also used to work at Brain Balance which helped me understand the minds and behavior of special needs children.
