Hi! My name is aspen!! I have over 6 years of experience working with individuals with special needs. I currently teach at a nonprofit for children with disabilities and previously served as a live-in caregiver for a 17-year-old boy with autism. I work with IHSS and the Regional Center, so I'm familiar with a wide range of abilities, medical conditions, and support needs. I'm CPR, BLS, and First Aid certified, state-certified as a caregiver, and have passed a full background check. My approach is compassionate, patient, and personalized. I believe in promoting independence, building trust, and supporting each person's unique strengths. I'd love to be a part of your support team!
