Hi! I'm Bridget - a longtime caregiver, behavior analyst, and big fan of kids and humans who do life a little differently. I'm a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with nearly 20 years of experience working with children, teens, young adults, and families, including extensive experience with autism and other developmental differences. While my professional background gives me plenty of tools to handle challenging moments, I'm also very good at leaving BCBA mode at work. I genuinely enjoy getting to know people, figuring out what makes them laugh, and getting invested in whatever they're currently obsessed with. I'm warm, playful, patient, reliable, and comfortable with everything from homework and community outings to games, errands, meals, daily living skills, or simply hanging out and being good company. I have reliable transportation, am comfortable with pets, and would love to find families where I can become a consistent, trusted person in their lives.
