A little bit about me
Hi! I’m a young adult with a few years official childcare experience, and nearly a decade of volunteer work with children of all ages! I love arts & crafts, sports, and the outdoors, and all in all have very varied interests. I’d love to work as a part-time or full-time nanny, and am open to live in work as well. I plan to go back to school to work on a linguistics degree in the next few years, and I have basic conversation skills in both Spanish and Japanese (and I’m more than willing to try to pick up another language)! I love working with kids and I’m excited to hopefully work with you!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name’s Ema. Throughout high school, I enrolled in a class where I worked in the Tigard High School daycare as well as at Durham Elementary, where I worked with 3 classes of 1st graders. I was also involved in a group called Everybody Athletics (EBA) where I worked with intellectually/developmentally disabled individuals in all-inclusive workout programs. While I babysat previously to this my love for working with children really began then. I started Nannying as well for the past 3 summers with a 5 and 7 year old. I grew up with 3 sisters and several different kinds of animals ranging from dogs and cats to pigs and snakes! So I developed a very nurturing, caring, and playful personality. It’s also why I’ve been pursuing a career in behavioral therapy specifically targeted towards adolescents. I love working with children and I’m really looking forward to beginning nannying and babysitting again now that I’m back home for summer!
