Hello ! My name is Emma and I am a passionate, experienced teacher and educator with a goal to make a difference in your family. I have over 18 years of childcare experience and have worked in Spain , France and Switzerland in addition to the US as a nanny and babysitter as well as private tutor for children ages 2-18.
I was born in the United States (Connecticut) and have worked in the public and private school system in the northeastern United States, California, Hawaii and France and Switzerland. I taught preschool and elementary school for over 11 years, after graduating from Smith College. In addition, I recently began teaching high school French, ELL and Spanish at Walnut Hill School for the Arts in Natick, MA. My overall childcare experience began in 2007, when I started working as a nanny in CT; from there, I continued throughout my teaching career to do babysitting work.
I hold a B.A. in French and Education from Smith College (Northampton, MA, USA, May 2007) and a Masters degree in Educational Sciences from University of Geneva ( Geneva, Switzerland, June, 2023).
The summer of 2023, I worked as a live-in Aupair for a family in Sant Cugat, Catalonia, Spain, and learned basic Spanish during this time.
I believe in diversity, inclusion and that all children thrive in a stimulating environment that meets their individual needs in a creative way. I really enjoy the work I do with young children. (I am passionate about working with all ages, but particularly enjoy working with babies). I'm reliable, energetic and professional.
Whether as a short-term solution or long-term support, I look forward to working with your family. I am currently looking for an au-pair/nanny or tutor position for all of part of the summer 2024 (from June 3- mid-August) in Spain or the Netherlands. Open to live-in or live-out.
Please contact me if you would like to work together. I am happy to provide references!
