Hi! My names Emma, I go by Em! I’ve been working with kiddos since middle school, I would babysit for friends and work in the nursery every Sunday. When I graduated college with my degree in psychology I started working as a nanny and did that for about a year and in that year I work with an incredible family who had a child on the autism spectrum and I found my passion. I then got my behavioral technician certification and have worked with kiddos in the spectrum since then. I’ve worked with all age groups from 2yrs old all the way up to 16! Currently I’m working at a preschool and am available weekdays after 3pm!
