About Elissa

Hello! My name is Elissa and I have 4 kids of my own, ages 11-17 two of which are on the autism spectrum. I'm looking for work now that my kids are older. I have a passion for helping others and love kids and the elderly population. I have a college degree in psychology, worked as a nanny and a behavioral technician working with kids with autism for 4 years prior to becoming a full time mom. I'd love to work with your family and help in any way I can! I'd describe my personality as caring, empathetic, kind, loving and creative I like working with kids because they have vivid imaginations, are endlessly curious! In my spare time, I like to bake, draw, go on walks and spend time with family One thing you should know about me is I'm loyal, hard working and have a heart for people My skills include remaining calm in tough situations, teaching kids to help around the house and become more independent and fostering creativity
