Hi, I’m Em Hammans! I have over 7 years of experience as a nanny and as a music teacher, as well as 4 years of experience working in a Montessori school. I have received certifications in CPR, first aid, transportation training, Every Child Can and Book 1 Suzuki training, as well as professional development course trainings for my work in a school environment. I’m passionate about creating a nurturing and inspiring environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. My background as a violin teacher since 2014, combined with my four years working at Bluestem Montessori Elementary School, has given me a unique skill set to support children of all ages and abilities. I’m inspired by teaching philosophies like those of Dr. Suzuki and Maria Montessori, which emphasize that every child has the potential to succeed when given the right encouragement and opportunities. I strive to foster curiosity, confidence, and Read more creativity in everything I do, whether it’s through music, imaginative play, or helping children develop important life skills. In addition to my experience as a music teacher, I have a strong foundation in Montessori education, supported by professional training and hands-on experience. I’m also deeply committed to tailoring my approach to meet the individual needs of each child. I have a passion for working with neurodivergent children and love finding creative, out-of-the-box ways to help them feel comfortable and confident in their environment. I bring patience, creativity, and warmth to my role as a caregiver, always aiming to support a child’s growth and happiness. I’d love the opportunity to bring my unique blend of skills and experiences to your family!

Em is my ideal sitter. They are calm, patient, responsible, and able to have real conversations with the kids about real topics. I'm a little bit of a helicopter mom- I'm very aware of who is where and what the mix of kids is, I don’t relax easily- so I notice (and appreciate) when my kid is with another adult I actually trust and I can actually relax. Em is one of those adults: I never worry. Top tier child care here.
