Meet Emily: A nanny and babysitter in Denver, CO

Working with children and animals is my passion. I enjoy being a part of their development, their creativity and curiosity for life. I bring a calm, grounded presence while keeping things fun, engaging, and age-appropriate. I’m someone children feel comfortable with quickly and parents trust to follow routines and communicate clearly.

Besides caring for children and animals, I enjoy traveling and the outdoors. I’ve been to 21 countries, most of them solo, and am in school for my private pilots license as well as elementary education. Another passion of mine is health and wellness. I became a certified yoga teacher in Peru that only deepened my love for traditional medicine such as meditation, breath work, and yoga. I enjoy volunteering in my free time and have volunteered at many different animal shelters, food banks, and currently Big Sister. I dream of a garden to grow fresh fruits and veggies, read like there’s no tomorrow, love to bike and surf, hike, and spend time with my friends.

I have several years of experience working with children in a variety of settings, including summer camps, after-school programs, babysitting, coaching youth soccer (ages 2–8), and teaching children’s yoga in the U.S. and abroad. My experience includes supervising daily routines, helping with homework, leading activities, managing group settings, and providing one-on-one care.

I value safety, structure, and emotional awareness, and I take pride in creating supportive, positive environments where children feel encouraged and confident. I’m patient in high-energy or emotional situations and skilled in positive behavior guidance, activity planning, and age-appropriate learning through play.
