My youngest brother has autism, so from a young age I've always understood special needs and have had an interest. To be honest, he's the reason why I'm passionate about care giving and why I love my work. I've always excelled at providing care and attention to clients with physical disabilities, mental or behavioral disorders, and any who needs just a little more understanding. For the past 6 years, I've worked exclusively for companies which support individuals who have special needs or other physical limitations - such as autism, cerebral palsy, addiction, deafness, blindness, and other physical limitations and health issues. I have extensive experience working with autism, having supported over 60 clients during my career. I've also worked as a program manager and have extensive experience coordinating activities throughout the valley for a summer program. I'm also an artist, photographer and musician. So naturally I love creative projects. Above all else, I believe that every person deserves a unique approach and I'm passionate about the well being and happiness of my clients. I'm experienced, adaptable, and truly love my work as a caregiver for all variety of needs.

    Brittany was a great employee that worked hard when she was on shift. Brittany has great communication skills and worked well with her teammates. It did not take her long to become a leader on shift and take on more responsibility. She was always open to change and would adapt to the changes quickly.
