I worked with children and babies my entire teen to adult career experience . I love kids, babies, pets, and even codependent adults. I love teaching, crafts, singing songs, making music with instruments, making small meals, and so much more. I am in school getting my ASL certification. I became a teacher because I love to help people, and the children need help with guidance into the real world. I worked with children with developmental delays, maladaptive behaviors, anger management issues, Autism, severe childhood trauma, ADHD, OCD, and even depression and suicidal thoughts and tendencies. My goal is to become a better teacher and mentor every day, working towards communicating with my students and kids who just need a little more help. I am currently working at a daycare where I am a float in the infant, toddler, twos, pre school, pre-k, and school age children. I believe every child should have a chance at learning and experiencing a fun pleasant time while they absorb their knowledge and release the stress and troubles.

Hi, I’m Emily, and I absolutely adore working with children!

I’m currently pursuing a degree in elementary education and am on the lookout for a fun afternoon or evening activity to do in my free time. I’m passionate about working with children, and I find their funny remarks to be a constant source of joy.

Being raised in my mother's home daycare, my love for children started young. As I got older, my ability to help her increased. During high school, I took up Child Development classes as well as First Aid and Safety, Culinary, and CNA. From January to July, I was an Assistant Teacher at Little Wings Childcare and Learning Center. I worked in the 2 year old room. Although I testified to the "Terrible-Two's" phase, it didn't overcome me. Growing up with an autistic brother has helped me develop patience and understanding towards those with different abilities. I've always been known for how attentive I am towards children from family, friends, and coworkers. I hope to continue to use my abilities to help others.

There’s no task too much for me.
