I'm Abby, a special educator with 13 years of experience supporting neurodivergent children and kids with complex medical, physical, behavioral, and communication needs. I offer child-centered tutoring, respite care, babysitting, community outings, play-based learning, personal care assistance, and family consultation. I'm experienced with AAC and assistive technology, sensory supports, feeding programs (including g-tubes), mobility assistance, toileting and personal care, seizure monitoring, de-escalation, and positive behavior supports. Families describe me as patient, supportive, and deeply attuned to kids' needs. My goal is to create safe, joyful, and empowering experiences for every child.
