A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Emily and I've been a professional nanny for the last 4 years.
I have a Bachelor's of Science in Child Development and Family Relations. I also have a year of preschool teaching experience and have completed a 20 hour intensive workshop for Newborn Care Specialist training. I am adult and infant CPR certified and have a driver’s license with a clean driving record.
I can prepare meals, snacks, and bottles. I can clean and organize the house, help with sleep training, potty training, and can drive children to and from appointments, school, and activities.
I absolutely adore children. I believe they are little scientists exploring and learning new things every day. I love being able to care for them, teach them, and guide them as they explore the world around them.
Some Fun Facts:
I love music and am a musician. I play the flute, piccolo, and ukulele.
I have two little sausage dogs; Leia and Ahsoka.
Some of my hobbies are: roller skating, crocheting, reading, hiking, and yoga.

"We needed a temporary nanny and after connecting with several nannies, we hired Francisca. Just from the initial communication she was professional and personable. It was lovely to find out she was even better on the job. She provided care for my four-month-old son but my two year old also felt instantly comfortable with her. My son was very well taken care of and Francisca was able to learn and adapt to our style quickly. I notice she is intuitive and attentive in her care for my son and the fact that she has an RN background and caregiving background comes through. Francisca will be a great help to any family and we recommend her very much."

"Diana worked with us and our almost two-year old and she was fantastic!! She safely drove Miles to and from daycare every day, prepared healthy food and fed him, changed diapers, bathed him, started working on potty training, introduced him to new foods, took him to the playground, and spoke to him in a way that we really think immensely expanded his vocabulary. She had such a natural way of communicating with him and explaining things to him that worked so well and is continuing to help him mature into a happy, healthy and communicative toddler! She was always extremely prompt, never late, and super flexible in terms of staying late whenever we needed her to. Additionally she was always willing to help with household tasks like folding laundry, taking out the garbage/recycling and light cleaning of dishes. I am happy to speak more with anyone who is interested in hiring Diana, as we'd love to help her find her next perfect nannying job!"

"I am writing to highly recommend Soni. She has been an incredible nanny for my two children, and we have been truly grateful for her care, dedication, and kindness.
From the beginning, Soni built a strong bond with my kids, providing them with a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. She is patient, reliable, and always goes above and beyond to ensure their well-being. Whether it was planning fun and educational activities, helping with schoolwork, or simply being a comforting presence, she consistently showed her professionalism and genuine love for children.
Her ability to balance structure and fun made a significant impact on my children’s growth and happiness. She is also incredibly responsible, punctual, and communicative, always keeping us informed and ensuring a smooth routine for our family.
We were so fortunate to have her as part of our lives, and any family would be lucky to have her. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any nanny position."
