Hi! I’m Gabby, and I’ve been working with children for the past four years. Caring for kids isn’t just my job it’s something I’m genuinely passionate about.I have a degree in Child Development, which has given me a strong understanding of children’s growth, learning, and individual needs at every stage. My professional experience includes working as a substitute teacher before becoming a preschool teacher, where I created engaging, age-appropriate activities and helped foster a safe, nurturing environment for young learners.In addition to my classroom experience, I’ve had the privilege of nannying for three wonderful families. Through these experiences, I’ve cared for children of different ages, built meaningful relationships with families, and learned the importance of providing dependable, loving, and individualized care. I enjoy planning fun activities, encouraging creativity and learning through play, and making sure children feel safe, supported, and happy.I strive to be a positive, patient, and reliable caregiver that families can trust. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing the best care possible for your little ones!

I’ve been caring for children since I was technically very young, starting with looking after my little sister whenever my parents were away. I continued babysitting throughout high school and later helped care for my nephews after they were born. With years of hands-on experience, I’m naturally warm, patient, and nurturing, and I love creating a safe, fun environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I’ve also completed over 12 units in child psychology and development, giving me a deeper understanding of how to foster children’s growth, learning, and emotional well-being through responsive care, consistent routines, positive reinforcement , and engaging activities.

My name is Emylee, and I am so excited about the opportunity to connect with families looking for a caring and dependable nanny. I have always had a deep love for children, and my experience as both a caregiver and a mother has truly shaped my passion for nurturing little ones.I have previous experience as a nanny, including a role as an au pair in Italy, where I provided full-time childcare, engaged children in educational activities, and assisted with daily routines. In addition, I am the proud older sister of three siblings, so caring for children has been a part of my life from an early age. I understand the patience, creativity, and attentiveness needed to create a safe and loving environment for kids to thrive.Now, as a mother to a wonderful 1 ½-year-old daughter, I’m looking for a nanny position where I can bring her along with me. I truly believe this would be a wonderful opportunity—not only for me as a caregiver but also for the children I care for, as they would have a built-in playmate and social companion. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your little ones, and I want to assure you that I treat every child in my care as if they were my own.I would love the chance to chat and see if I’d be the right fit for your family. Please feel free to reach out—I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!
