About Elysia

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello! I'm a highly experienced and compassionate child care and pet care provider with a strong academic background in education and child health. I hold a BA in Education from Mount Holyoke College and an EdM in Education from Harvard University. Currently, I'm pursuing a PhD in Public Health with a focus on child health promotion. I have extensive experience caring for children from infancy through age 10, both in private homes and in school settings. I've worked with families to provide individualized care, and I've also supported large groups of children during school events. My time as a teacher's assistant in public school classrooms focused on social-emotional learning, where I helped children build confidence, resilience, and strong interpersonal skills. I bring a nurturing, engaging, and educational approach to every child I work with, always prioritizing safety, creativity, and fun. I'm currently looking for part-time opportunities while I continue my studies.
