A little bit about me
Hello future employers,
My name is Emerald Barnes, and I am a 21-year-old college student with a passion for teaching and caring for children of all ages. I am currently in my third year at the University of Houston–Downtown, where I am pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Education with a focus on both General and Special Education. I attend classes once a week on Wednesdays while gaining hands-on experience in the field.
At present, I work as a paraprofessional in a Pre-K special education classroom, where I support young learners with diverse needs. This role has strengthened my patience, creativity, and ability to build meaningful connections with children.
Outside of work and school, I enjoy spending time outdoors, reading, crocheting, and doing puzzles. I am also happily engaged and planning to get married next June.
I am interested in becoming a sitter to continue gaining experience, support families, and build strong relationships with children in a nurturing environment.
