A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Emilia :) I have several years of childcare experience ranging from working with infants to school-aged kids. My childcare background includes full-time nannying, after-school care, and occasional babysitting, as well as helping with homework, bedtime routines, and organizing fun, age-appropriate activities. I’m natively trilingual—raised in Portland, Oregon, speaking Spanish at home and attending a French immersion school. I always love to bring Spanish and French into the families with whom I work. I love working with children and feel passionate about supporting their emotional and developmental growth. This fall, I’ll be starting a Master’s program in Clinical Psychology at NYU, with evening classes, which leaves my days and weekends fully open for nannying. I’m dependable, caring, and committed to creating a warm and safe environment for the kids I care for.
