A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Emma, originally from Denver, Colorado. I’ve been nannying and babysitting for the past 10 years for a variety of wonderful families, caring for kids of all ages.

I’m very active and love spending time outside. Whether it’s going to the park, doing crafts outside, playing sports, going on walks, or planning fun adventures to keep kids moving and entertained. I value encouraging creativity, learning, and hands-on play.

I graduated from Regis University with a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Biology, and I’m currently applying to physician assistant school. My background in healthcare helps me stay calm, attentive, and responsible in all situations. I’m CPR certified, comfortable with meal prep, homework help, light housekeeping, and maintaining structured routines.

I would absolutely love the opportunity to support your family and be someone your children feel safe, happy, and excited to spend time with!
