A little bit about me

My name is Emeri Crawford, and I’m a sweet, dependable, and loving caregiver with a passion for helping others. I graduated from Western Carolina University with a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders and a minor in Special Education.

I have 3 years of experience as an in-home healthcare worker, and I’ve been babysitting for friends and family for over 5 years. I’ve worked with individuals of all ages, including children and adults with special needs.

During college, I volunteered for two semesters with the UP Program, which provides individuals with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to experience college life—living on campus, attending classes, and earning a two-year associate’s degree. It was one of the most rewarding parts of my journey.

Now, I’m excited to bring that same compassion and experience into my babysitting service, proudly serving families in Gaston County, Mecklenburg County, and Lake Wylie. I’m also happy to travel up to 30 minute.

More About Me

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

I'm excited to apply for your babysitting position. I have several years of experience caring for children through personal babysitting for friends and family, as well as volunteering with my church’s youth ministry, where I assisted with nursery care, youth events, and overnight programs.

I’ve also supported college-age individuals with intellectual disabilities through the University Participant Program at Western Carolina University, and I currently work as an in-home healthcare aide with three years of experience providing compassionate, reliable care.

I’m confident that my background in caregiving, my patience, and my passion for working with children make me a strong fit for your family. I’d love the opportunity to speak further.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy creating fun and engaging arts and crafts projects for kids and even making up games to keep them entertained. I strive to minimize screen time by encouraging interactive and imaginative play. When the weather allows, I love spending time outdoors with children, but I also have a great collection of indoor games and activities to keep them active and happy no matter the forecast.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Honestly, I love being a nanny because it allows me to connect with different families and build meaningful relationships with their children. One of my favorite parts of the job is experiencing a bit of a second childhood—playing, laughing, and seeing the world through a child’s eyes. Bringing joy to kids and creating a fun, safe environment for them is truly what makes this work so rewarding for me.

My experience with special needs children...

I have extensive experience working with individuals with special needs across various settings. I’ve been caring for a close family friend’s nonverbal child with special needs since he was six months old, providing consistent and compassionate care. During college, I volunteered with a special needs program that supported individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In addition, as a certified nursing assistant (CNA), I’ve provided in-home care for several adult clients with special needs, ensuring their safety, comfort, and dignity. My academic background also supports this work—I minored in Special Education, which has deepened my understanding and skill set in the field.
