Hi! My name is Ava, and I'm a 20-year-old student at USC studying psychology. I have nearly two years of experience supporting individuals with diverse cognitive, emotional, and developmental needs across all ages. This includes working with individuals with schizophrenia and autism, both verbal and non-verbal. Through this experience, I've developed strong skills in patience, adaptability, communication, and person-centered care, always meeting individuals where they are and supporting their unique needs and strengths. I'd love the opportunity to support your family--please feel free to reach out if you think I'd be a great fit! If you'd prefer to communicate via text, I'm happy to share my personal number.
Ava did a wonderful job of shopping with my brother and helping him put away his groceries as well as helping him keep up with his household chores. Ava was great at communicating with my disabled brother and gently guiding him through his shopping and housework. She has a pleasant demeanor that allowed my brother to be comfortable with her and therefore was motivated to do his chores. An additional bonus was that she was facile with electronic devices and often would help him with small corrections that kept his electronic devices working for him. I would heartily recommend her as her compassion, youthfulness, and diligence are wonderful assets, especially in dealing with disabled adults.
