About Emma

Hi! I'm Emma! I am a college student majoring in Special Education, and I work as a ParaProfessional at a middle school during the school year! I have a passion for working with children and want to make sure that each child feels heard, seen, respected, and loved! Growing up as the eldest sibling of 4, I have taken on the caregiving role very early in life. I enjoy being a positive role model to young children and hope to inspire them to go on to do great things! I have 3 years of Nursing Assistant experience and am not currently CPR/First Aid certified, but I am trained! I have over 10 years of experience being around children with autism, as I have a younger brother who is autistic and nonverbal. This experience of having an autistic brother has really equipped me with excellent verbal and nonverbal communication skills, patience, empathy, and a deeper understanding of autism and other mental cognitive disorders.
