A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Emma and I am a professional nanny! I've cared for children from infancy to 10 years old, autistic children, and children with severe allergies. I'm comfortable with pets of all kinds and have no allergies. I take a gentle approach with children and am eager to integrate myself with your parenting style. I'm passionate about the impact we leave on our little ones and spent a number of years studying early childhood education and psychology as well as various approaches such as Montessori, gentle, and authoritative parenting. I'm an artist and my degree is in acting so crafts and stories are a guaranteed success with me! I speak basic French and love using ASL with babies. I'm fully vaccinated and boosted and don't drink or smoke. You'll find I am warm, responsible, patient, hardworking, easygoing, tidy, consistent, punctual, and knowledgeable.

Nanny Micaela Belen
"I like that she’s very organized with kids. Nowadays, kids are given a screen and that’s it, no. She will play, sing, do puzzles, and draw with the kids. She’s very loving and very patient. My kids adore her. She sticks to a schedule so the kids will follow a routine. They have a certain hour for playtime, nap time, and for meals."
- Mary
