About Emily

29 years old Speaks English
Hello! My name is Emily, and I am a mature university student studying social work and psychology. I am passionate about being a companion for those who have special needs. I am currently looking for short-term work; I will be leaving for the summer in either May or June. If you need a companion for the next few months, or even if your current companion is sick or is going on vacation, I would be happy to fill in the gaps. I have experience working with people with varying needs, primarily as a previous caretaker and companion for a client with cerebral palsy. I was a youth worker for several years and led groups that included neurodivergent teenagers, primarily ASD teens. I also enjoyed being a helper and tutor in the classroom for students with special needs. I am calm and patient with a gentle personality, yet also tuned in to my client's needs. My area of studies, previous experiences, and life experiences have allowed me to have an good understanding of life with neurodivergence and special needs.
