I have been caring for individuals who need extra support, patience, and compassion since I was a child. My first paid caregiving role involved supporting an elderly woman with Alzheimer's while also caring for two young boys in the same household. This experience taught me how to balance responsibility, attentiveness, and emotional sensitivity in a family setting. After graduating from college, I worked for two years as a Special Education Assistant for Pre-K children with special needs, supporting daily routines, learning, and emotional regulation. I later transitioned into social work, where I further developed strong communication skills, empathy, and professionalism when working with individuals and families. Caregiving is work I genuinely align with. I understand the importance of trust, consistency, and reliability, and I take pride in providing calm, respectful, and dependable care for those I support.
