Hi! My name is Emily, and I am a nursing school graduate currently working toward obtaining my nursing license and beginning my career in healthcare. Caring for others has always been a passion of mine, which is why I’ve spent many years working with children. I started babysitting in middle school, later worked as a nanny, and have most recently gained experience as a substitute teacher working with children of all ages.I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children can learn, grow, and feel comfortable. I am responsible, patient, dependable, and love being a positive influence in a child’s life.As summer approaches, I am looking for a part-time nanny position where I can continue doing what I enjoy—supporting children and helping families—while I work toward my goals in healthcare. I look forward to connecting with a family that is looking for a caring and trustworthy caregiver.
