I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with hands-on experience supporting individuals with special needs in both home and community environments. Through my work, I've learned the importance of meeting each person exactly where they are -- emotionally, mentally, and physically -- and creating a space where they feel seen, understood, and valued. With knowledge of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, I understand how structure, patience, and positive reinforcement can help foster growth and independence. I'm skilled at providing compassionate care, emotional support, and individualized assistance that promotes confidence and comfort. I approach every situation with empathy, respect, and a calm, encouraging presence -- always aiming to build trust and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those I care for.
