Hi there, My name is Emily. I have been caring for and working with children professionally for 5+ Years, and have always been around young children in my family for longer than that. I have a passion for working with children and families from all cultural backgrounds and developmental abilities. I have a MA Childhood Studies from a UK University. I also have a BA Child Psychology and BSc Family Social Science from the University of Minnesota. Professionally, I have experience with newborns to young adolescents as well as disabled, multilingual, and highly-stressed/neglected children. I have been a preschool teacher in both the US and UK. My favorite thing about working with children is watching them grow and learn. Their imagination, curiosity, and honesty amaze me. I have a full-time job as a Child Welfare Specialist, but would be happy to talk if you are looking for occasional help on Read more evenings or weekends :)
