Not really a summary because i don’t vape, no i don’t own a car because legally im only 15, about to turn 16 in a couple of months so i can’t, im a highschool student and i have babysat for over 5 years, based on having siblings , i attend Paul Laurence Dunbar highschool in washington dc, i have a great gpa of 3.5, all grades and im very gentle with kids. As far as training im home trained based on having siblings and having to care for them as their 2nd mother and providing them with stuff as they grow, i’ve already had a experience with taking care of kids and it’s a piece of cake. I’m gentle and very understanding and calming. So i feel as though i can use this ability to contain a job of babysitting for money, because i put in good deeds and just like helping one another and kids.

Hi! My name is Emerald and I have a strong background in childcare with several years of experience working at multiple daycare centers. I've had the opportunity to care for children of all ages from infants to school aged kids which has given me a well-rounded understanding of different developmental stages and needs.

I truly enjoy spending time with kids and love planning fun, engaging activities that help them learn and grow while having a great time. Whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor play, storytime, or educational games, I’m always ready to create a safe and enjoyable environment.

In addition to childcare, I also offer help with meal prep and snacks, making sure children are eating balanced, kid-friendly meals. I’m reliable, patient, and passionate about what I do, and I look forward to helping your family however I can!
