Hey families! My name is Jelina. A little bit about me: I have a Bachelor's in Speech-Language Pathology but am pursuing a different path and am currently in school to become a Counselor. I was an Assistant Teacher at The Goddard School for Early Childhood Development wherein I worked with infants all the way up to kids the age of 5. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified, and I have no problem assisting with housework. I enjoy both indoor and outdoor activities. If possible, I want to expose children to a wide variety of things such as musical instruments or different hobbies they can acquire to express themselves to aid in their development. I have no problem working with special needs children as my own little brother has autism. I most recently worked as a Registered Behavior Technician in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis but had to Read more leave the field due to the increasing needs of my current Internship to become a Mental Health Counselor. CURRENT AVAILABILITY (as of 5/9/25): Mondays and Tuesdays.

Jelina was a dream come true. I immediately felt comfortable with her; she is articulate, kind, and has seemingly endless patience with my 10 month old. My daughter LOVED her from day one and Jelina went out of her way to make sure she was alwasy engaged and learning new things as she played. She is also very prompt, communicative, and ensures that we are on the same schedule and that all expectations are clear. I would highly recommend Jelina.
