I am Adelphi University Alumni, both my undergraduate and Graduate studies in Garden City. I have acquired my B.A in Communications and Behavior and had started working towards my M.A in Elementary Education and Special needs. However, life took me out of graduate school early and I began working. I have 5 years experience with children that require special needs and I am well educated in American Sign Language (ASL).  I worked in three elementary schools within two districts in Nassau county. I tutored one on one and in groups within each classroom. I worked in various grades including Kindergarten, 4th grade, 5th and 6th grade special needs classrooms. During those years is when I really fell in love with teaching! My expertise and specialty is speech, reading, comprehension, study skills including memorization and new to writing learner's, with a focus on fine motor skills for the youngest and children that need extra help with their sounds. Teachers run in my family Read more so my passion for teaching children isn't a big surprise. I am a responsible, clean person and all children seem to love me. I am fun, attentive, but also strict. I'm big on getting your homework done after a snack and then going out to play, picking up after yourself and respect. I will always lead by example. Privately and professionally I have worked with infants and toddlers as well. I approach each child on their level. I'm very helpful with potty training. Last but not least safety. It is my duty while your children are in my care to make sure that they're safe, fed, happy, and well for you while you're away. I'm know CPR for all ages. I'm big on communication and updating the parents throughout the day with their children. I like to keep parents in the loop especially of any changes throughout the day. It's important to me have a good working relationship with the family as a whole. The more healthy attachments a baby has the better for the child's attachment as they grow!                                           Sincerely, Daniela
