Hi, my name is Emma! I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for infants through adolescents up to age 15. I currently work as a burn ICU nurse, where I deliver high-acuity, critical care. I genuinely adore children and connect easily with them across all developmental stages. I prioritize safety, structure, and fun, and I tailor my care to each child's unique needs and personality. Alongside my clinical work, I am pursuing my doctorate in family nursing practice (to become a family nurse practitioner!). My advanced training strengthens my ability to recognize health concerns early, support families confidently, and provide thoughtful, evidence-based care.I treat every child as if they belong to my own family and take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children thrive.

Hi! My name is Stavroula, and I’ve been caring for children for years. Growing up, I helped care for my two younger twin brothers from a young age, which gave me hands-on experience with everything from keeping kids entertained to helping with daily routines and responsibilities. I also frequently babysat their friends, giving me experience with children of different ages and personalities.I recently graduated from college and will be starting my master’s program this fall. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, or keeping children engaged in fun, safe activities, I strive to create a positive and caring environment. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident that their children are in good hands, and I always aim to provide reliable, attentive care that families can trust.
