My name is Elina and I have over 8 years of experience working in licensed preschools, specializing in children ages 1 to 3. I am currently a Health Aide Specialist in a public school district, where I support students with medical and developmental needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and trained to respond calmly and effectively in various situations. I am half American and half Japanese, fluent in English and Japanese, and conversational in Chinese. I bring positive energy, patience, and genuine care to every child I work with. I also enjoy offering a multicultural perspective that helps children feel safe, seen, and supported. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family!
