My name is Emma and I moved to Sydney from the US with my fiancé in February 2017. I will be in Sydney until August 2020 (perhaps longer) & I'm currently living in Potts Point. I have a BA in Anthropology from the University of Arizona.
I worked at a children's shelter in Tucson for 2 years, so I'm comfortable caring for multiple children of all ages. For 6 months, I worked full-time at the shelter exclusively with newborns and infants (often I was caring for 5 babies at one time on my own.) Most of my experience has been with ages newborn to three years old. Before moving, I cared for twin infants (they were 7 months when I started with them) & even travelled with the family to lend a helping hand. And for nearly 2 years now, here in Sydney, I've mostly been helping mothers transition from one child to two.
I have an NSW Working with Children Check & an Australian police check. I'm First Aid/CPR certified. I have a US driver's license & know some Spanish. I'm calm, patient, responsible, and reliable. I'm comfortable with doing light-housework & I'm available for the occasional date night as well. References are available upon request. If you have questions for me, please feel free to ask. Thanks!
