A little bit about me
As a dependable, flexible educator with 15 years experience working with pre K-8th along with raising my 18year old daughter, it would be wonderful to apply my abilities and expertise to keeping your children safe, happy and on the right developmental path. I earned a Masters degree in child psychology along with extensive doctoral work in child psychology. I am very passionate about guiding, coaching and mentoring children of all abilities to learn and explore the world around them.I have prior nanny experience and my responsibilities consisted of the safety of the children, transportation to/from school, preparing meals, shopping, light housekeeping, schoolwork, laundry, helping children get dressed and cleaning up after them. I would ensure the appropriate levels of physical and mental activity by engaging children in active play, inside and/or outside such as educational games, puzzles, sports, going for a walk to the park all while making sure they are meeting their milestones.

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Emily, a 19-year-old nanny who loves working with kids of all ages and abilities.
I’m CPR/First Aid certified, and I’ve worked with special education students (ages 5+) my whole life — it’s shaping my future career, so I bring real patience and experience to every child I watch. I’ve also worked as a rock wall attendant and birthday party host for kids 6-18, so I know how to keep things fun and safe.
I also love helping around the house — tidying, organizing, and leaving things better than I found them.
Availability: I work 3-8pm at another job most days, so mornings/early afternoons work best then — but my off days are open for full-day care. Happy to share my monthly schedule!
Extras: Can drive kids to activities (gas + car seats provided) and run errands/groceries if compensated for specific needs.
Let’s chat — I’d love to meet your family!

A little bit about me
I grew up in Traverse City, Michigan, and am the youngest of six. I have always loved kids, and enjoy watching my little nieces, nephew and cousins. I have had numerous babysitting and nannying jobs, all of which have been so enjoyable, being able to interact with little kids and watch their minds grow. I love going to the beach, doing crafts, and watching Disney movies. I attended Kendall College of Art and Design after graduating from TCW in 2021, took some time to travel alone, and am now back in TC! Teaching kids how to be independent and trust themselves is my favorite part of being a caretaker.
