About Emily

I'd describe my personality as creative, attentive, and caring. I like working with kids because they are so energetic and creative, and have such big personalities! I'm looking for a job that will allow me to have fun with the kids and get to know them, making it a special experience for the little ones. I started working with kids when I started my undergraduate degree in child psychology at UIUC. I work as a tutor in public elementary schools and a site manager for an after school daycare program with children from 5-11 years of age. In my spare time, I like to care for my pets and plants, as well as spend time with family and friends. One thing you should know about me is I can handle many children at one time, and even the rowdiest of the bunch. I love getting to know each of the children personally. My skills include handling large groups, listening to and bonding with the children, and aiding with homework and assignments.
