“Our family was fortunate to meet Em 5 years ago when she was our daughter’s favorite preschool teacher. Since then, Em has been providing amazing care for our daughter (now age 8) so that my partner and I can enjoy much-needed date nights. We all adore Em because she is kind, joyful, and playful while still providing excellent structure and adhering to a schedule. Even the dog and cat get excited when they see Em come through the door! Em will often come prepared with supplies and/or ideas for fun art projects. My daughter is always thrilled to learn that “Teacher Em” is coming to care for her, and my husband and I love the peace of mind of leaving our child in the care of a fellow adult who is trustworthy and competent.
