Hello! I'm Emily, a former teacher with a passion for nurturing children's development. Armed with two bachelor's degrees – one in Psychology with a minor in Special Education and another in Communication Sciences and Disorders – I'm on my way to becoming a Speech Language Pathologist. For just over five years, I contributed to the Aucocisco School and Learning Center, evolving from a Lindamood-Bell certified reading tutor to a dedicated special educator. Throughout my years as an educator and afterward, I've had the privilege of nannying for multiple families. I've worked with children of all ages, from newborns to 18-year-olds, including those with diverse needs and learning profiles. I enjoy engaging children in activities like reading and arts and crafts, fostering both their imagination and cognitive skills. Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors and bonding with Maple, my 2.5 year-old miniature Goldendoodle. Together, we're working towards Maple becoming Read more a certified therapy dog to accompany me in my future career. Key Highlights: Experience working with children across various age groups and neurodiverse populations. Skilled in creating engaging educational activities. Fluent in English. Known for being friendly, reliable, punctual, and adaptable. I'm excited to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your family!
