Hi, I'm Emma!
I'm a dedicated nanny with 8 years of experience working with children from infants through middle school age, and I recently made the exciting move to the Chicago area! I love building genuine connections with kids — creating a space where they feel safe, cared for, and free to just be themselves.
When I'm not with the kids, you'll find me hiking, traveling, or lost in a good book — so I always have stories and ideas to bring to the table! I'm also First Aid and CPR certified with experience caring for children with special needs. If you're looking for a nurturing, dependable nanny, I'd love to connect!

A little bit about me
Hi! I am from Columbus, OH and moved to Chicago for the year. I graduated from Ohio State University in May 2025 with a degree in Chemistry and a minor in pharmaceutical sciences but will be starting dental school this fall! I babysat for a few families in Columbus and continue to see them when I am home. I have babysat babies-early teens. I have experience babysitting for multiple days over night and driving kids around. I have a younger sister and an older brother. I live in the Lakeview area and work part time at an optometrist office, so I’m looking to nanny a few days a week! I love working with kids and have volunteered in elementary schools and with foster children. I was also just hired by Chicago Public Schools to be a substitute teacher k-12.
