I am a compassionate and dependable caregiver with over two years of hands-on experience supporting individuals with special needs and cognitive disabilities. I have provided consistent care for a severely autistic, nonverbal male with severe OCD, where patience, structure, and understanding were essential. My responsibilities included medication reminders, maintaining daily routines, emotional support, and safely accompanying him on outings for meals and activities. I also have experience caring for a mentally disabled elderly individual, providing companionship and assistance with daily activities, including going out to eat, participating in meaningful activities, and visiting different places to encourage independence, confidence, and quality of life. I am calm, attentive, and respectful, and I prioritize creating a safe, supportive environment tailored to each individual's needs. I take pride in building trust and meaningful connections with those I care for and their families.
