Hi! I'm Amanda, a compassionate caregiver with over 4 years of experience supporting children and individuals with special needs. I am a CNA, CPR/AED certified, and have experience providing respite care, habilitation care, Autism Spectrum support, and Epilepsy care. I have worked one-on-one with children with complex medical and developmental needs, including a young girl with severe autism and epilepsy who functioned at approximately a 2-year-old developmental level and used a Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS) with a magnet. This experience provided me with hands-on knowledge in supporting communication, routines, sensory needs, safety, and individualized care. I love creating engaging, age-appropriate activities and using my background in art to encourage creativity and learning. I am patient, dependable, and committed to providing a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment where every child feels valued, understood, and supported. Resume/References upon request
