About Emma

I'm a gentle, compassionate, and deeply reliable and trustworthy caregiver looking for more opportunities to get to be around the energetic, resilient, creative energy of kids! I have a 9-5 job where I get to do mission-driven policy work on issues I care about, so I am open to weekday evenings and weekends. I've got a small SUV & sterling driving record, a Master's degree, and nearly boundless patience and tenderness for all the creatures in my life: whether it's my two jumbo dogs, my nieces, nephews, and neighborhood kids, and maybe your kids too! My approach to caring for kids is to follow the rules, routines, and norms parents have established, and to help enforce whatever those may be. I am a naturally creative and gentle person so I connect best with families who share that energy, but am consistent with enforcing the boundaries and preferences that you communicate to me. I am very comfortable with babies and toddlers, but love older kids too!
