A little bit about me

Hello ! I am a dedicated childcare professional with 13 years of experience supporting children's growth, learning, and development. I currently hold my state certification and am trained in CPI, CPR, First Aid, and other essential childcare and safety practices. I am working toward my Associate of Arts (AA) degree in Early Childhood Education (ECE) to further expand my knowledge and skills in the field. Coming from a large family with many siblings, I have always enjoyed being around children and helping others. As a mother of two, I bring both professional expertise and personal experience to my work. I am an energetic, creative, and artsy individual who loves creating engaging, nurturing environments where children can thrive.

A little bit about me

I'm Emma and I have about 3 years of family and friend babysitting. And I have about a year of working at a daycare. While working there I realized I'm love to do hands on/ one on one work! I'm a very quick learner and can follow instructions very well. I have also had experience in the classroom with elementary and middle school students. I am newly graduated with a Bachelors in Elementary Education from PLU, but am continuing education to obtain my Masters in Education. I also am very comfortable with animals. And more than willing to do a little light house work, cooking, and more. I'm very attentive. I would want to do age appropriate activities and keep your kids active and engaged. But most importantly I hope to share some positivity in your child's life in any way I can!

A little bit about me

I grew up with my parents owning an In-Home Daycare. From a very young age I was helping out and loved being with other kids. Once in Middle School, I started working in the Daycare after school. Following my junior year being cut short, I began working full time as a Teachers Assistant. Beginning of 2024 I began nannying and am looking to continue on that path. Throughout the years I have worked at many camps as a counselor and enjoyed many babysitting jobs. I quickly learned I have a genuine love for kids and experiencing those milestones and special moments in their lives. I enjoy doing interactive play with them that strengths their development skills. I've worked mainly with children birth to 5 years old.
