I am a fun and creative childcare professional with over 20 years’ experience working with children and families. I bring lots of energy, warmth and imagination to my work, and always provide a calm, safe and dependable presence. I have a background in art and drama, I love encouraging creativity through play, storytelling, crafts and games, and I’m happiest when children are laughing, learning and feeling confident to be themselves. I am currently a social worker, which means I’m highly attuned to children’s emotional wellbeing, boundaries and individual needs. I absolutely love my job. Outside of work, my interests include art, fashion and board games — all of which often find their way into fun activities. I have experience with behaviour management, tutoring, teaching, homework club, swimming, crafting, and more.
At present Emily works with 11 students, but the classroom can range from 11-25 students. She works with 11-16 year old. She is reliable, trustworthy; I line managed her for nearly a year and I can say that she is always punctual. Really good with the kids. patient and helps with their development, especially the kids with special needs. She runs homework clubs, arts and crafts with some of them. That's her area of interest. She's been my saving grace.Bolaji O

"Emily was the best. Thank you Haymarket Team and KidSitter for the perfect connection. "
"Emily was fantastic. Kept the kids entertained the whole time, and was great getting them off to sleep. Would definitely go with her again!"
"I was very happy with Emily and my children definitely had a good time."
"Arrived promptly and when my 7 year old woke up upset Emily chatted to her and calmed her until she went to sleep again which was great. "
"We love Emily! She is providing a series of night-time sitting for our nine-year-old son. She is patient, knows about and loves kids, and is very kind and responsible. We feel grateful to have found someone who we trust, as it allows us to go out a couple of times a month to really enjoy the city and know that our son is in great care."
