A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Emma!
I hold a social service worker license (SSW) am currently a grad student for my masters in social work. At this time I am only taking new clients for parenting, development, and behavior consulting. Behavior challenges have a cause and an underlying need. Together we will explore your child’s motivations, priorities, and needs while also learning to incorporate structure, boundaries, and safety to help your family accommodate and overcome these challenges. With a compassionate and gentle approach, I will observe, evaluate, and make recommendations and an actionable plan for minimal disruption.
I have been a child development specialist for 2 years and a nanny for 9. I am a Newborn Care Specialist, have current first aid/CPR certifications as well as being previously EMT certified. I have had college coursework in child development, psychology, ECE, as well as parenting classes, and sleep training courses.
Thanks for looking, please message with any questions!

"We had the pleasure of Emma being our nanny for 6 months. She took care of our newborn son due to me having to go back to work early from maternity leave, she also helped with our 4 year old daughter when needed. Both of our children love Emma and always had big smiles on their faces when they saw her. I trusted Emma quickly and knew she genuinely cared about my kids. She communicated well and always kept me up to date on what happened during the day. Emma feels like a part of the family and I plan to hire her for future babysitting needs. I strongly reccomend her for a nanny position; you can trust that she is passionate, kind, patient, open to feedback, honest, and responsible."

"Emma has been a great addition to our family. She’s been someone we can depend on. In addition to date nights, we've had Emma take care of the kids while we've gone on vacation. She's stayed with them for over a week on a few occasions and we never have to worry about a thing. She takes great care of both kids. They have so much fun while she is here and she even make sure the boys get to lessons and games on time. She cares about the boys and they love her back. She is trustworthy and a very nice to be around. I would highly recommend Emma."

"Emma has a lot of experience with child care. The thing that we enjoyed a lot about Emma when we initially interviewed her was her laid back and relaxed attitude. She is someone who does not get easily overwhelmed or worked up, which was very important to me when handling an infant. She was also very flexible and was able to show up early or stay later if given notice. She was great at following instructions when given and adapted to our wishes for our son. In addition, she was an active participant in his growth and development and aided me when I was at a loss for ideas. She was always keeping in touch throughout the day with updates, questions or concerns. She would also send pictures and videos of their day, which I always loved. We would reccomend Emma to any family in need of an amazing, experienced nanny."
