Hi, my name is Afia. I have a deep love for working with children on the autism spectrum, and I bring both patience and genuine understanding to every family I support. I have hands-on experience helping children with autism of different ages, including those who may have sensory needs, communication challenges, or occasional behavioral struggles. I stay calm, caring, and consistent, and I always focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and predictable environment. I enjoy following routines, using gentle redirection, and celebrating every small step of progress. I truly believe every child deserves to be understood, supported, and loved for who they are. Working with autism is something I'm passionate about, and I'm committed to giving each child the respect, kindness, and individualized care they need to feel confident and happy. I would be honored to bring my experience and heart into supporting your family.
