A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Emil. While I’m new to nannying, I’m not new to babysitting or childcare. Amongst odd jobs for many families through my teens, I also raised my three siblings myself (around mostly neglectful parents), all of which were unique and sometimes a little troubled in their own ways. I used to be a preschool teacher for ages 1-2 years as well!

I have personal experience with ADHD, ASD/Autism, PTSD in small children (1-2), anxiety, and anger issues. As long as I am left with a list and am shown where supplies are, I also am happy to do light house work/laundry, and if given recipes, I will prepare meals as well.

I’m autistic and have anxiety, but that doesn’t deter my care of a child! I have taught in preschool (almost three years total). As I’ve seen, it only helps me to be empathetic to children with those and to help them feel less afraid and more comfortable.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Early childhood Teacher (1-2 yrs old) and Collaboration Team (aka Support Staff) at Glen Leven Day School

Early Childhood (1-2 yrs old) Teacher at Grow Academy

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Any arts and crafts, “exploring” (or as I would call it, tramping through parks and collecting things like kids tend to do), swinging, and I’m sure other things I can’t think of off the top of my head!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Not a whole lot of people I feel put their whole heart into childcare, but I feel that that is the most important part. I show the kids I watch all of the care a mother would, and I wouldn’t strive for anything less because I form an emotional bond with the kids I care for.

My experience with special needs children...

I have taught, babysat, and/or been the older sister of children with PTSD, autism, ADHD, Anxiety, and anger issues. I myself am “high functioning” autistic (although I hate that label myself) and have anxiety.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Not from nannying, but one of my favourite memories from teaching is getting to play with the kids on this large mattress-like pad (the type you’d jump off of something onto) that we called a trampoline on our playground. We’d play ring-a-round-the-rosy and I’d fall down dramatically multiple times to make them giggle, and I’d gently flip them on their backs and they’d giggle so loud, and it’s one of my fondest memories.
