Hi! My name is Emilia and I'm from Alameda, California! I have recently graduated from the University of Portland, majoring in Public Health. I currently work at European Wax Center in sales. I’ve babysat, been a nanny, and worked as a preschool teacher throughout high school and college. I love kids of all ages, but tend to prefer ages under 6 years old. I’m available any days of the week, any times that you need me! I’m hoping to work with a family who’s looking for someone to be with them longer-term and full time

A little bit about me
Hi! I have spent 4 years working in child care at two preschools (learning tree and Becca’s place early learning center ) and while I enjoyed where I was full time, I’ve recently decided to put more focus on my art career while holding a part time nanny job :) I am on the ORO background registry and certified in several child care courses as well as hold a good reputation with the parents of the children I worked with. Before child care I had worked with adults with autism and other cognitive/physical disabilities for two years. At Life emp. I was insulin delegated and continued to work part time after leaving to fill in the gap until they were able to hire new help. I am extremely organized and prefer to do whatever I can to make a safe environment and put those around me at ease :)

A little bit about me
Hi families! I’m currently looking to connect with a wonderful family to nanny for. I have over six years of professional experience working with kids of all ages and truly love what I do. I’m very flexible with my schedule and hoping to find a long-term position where I can be part of your child’s growth and day-to-day life.
My current rate is $24/hour, though I’m open to discussing a range that works well for your family. I’d love to chat and see if we might be a great fit!
I truly believe a nanny plays a meaningful role in a child’s life, so I care for every child as if they were my own. I have experience with multiple children at once, including those with special needs. I love reading, singing, dancing, playing games, and creating fun activities with kids of all ages. Most importantly, I make sure they’re safe, cared for, and having fun while learning along the way.
