About Yan

Hi there! I'm Yan. I recently earned my degree in Human Developmental Science from UC San Diego and am pursuing my doctorate degree in Health Service Psychology. My motivation is to help improve the behavioral and social-emotional functioning of children with neurodevelopmental disorders and externalizing disorders such as disruptive behavior, disobedience, and aggression. I have been caring for children for 4 years as a babysitter and have extensive experience working with toddlers and early school-age children. I also have 4 years of experience working with children who have special needs and children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ages 2 - 11). I previously worked as a behavior therapist offering parent training, support, and personalized in-home therapy to children ages 2 - 8. I am punctual, kind, reliable, fun, attentive, energetic, and patient. I truly love working with young kids, and I approach each child as a unique individual who I get to help grow and teach.
