Hi, I'm Bonita! I'm a warm, trauma-informed educator and caregiver with over 10 years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults. I specialize in autism, ADHD, trauma, and executive functioning. Whether I'm babysitting, tutoring, or mentoring, I use a calm, structured, and strengths-based approach to build trust and independence. I hold a Master's in Special Education and support individuals with emotional regulation, routines, life skills, and academic needs. I've worked with nonverbal children, teens navigating anxiety, and young adults needing help with organization and planning. I also provide social-emotional support through personalized tools and strategies. If you're looking for someone who brings heart, structure, and flexibility to meet your loved one's needs, I'd love to connect!

    I called Bonita last minute and she showed right up. She was very patient and understanding with my daughter. She has a bright smile and brings positivity with her, which helps when you have a kid suffering from depression.
