With over 25 years of experience supporting children and adults with developmental disabilities--including Autism and Down syndrome--I bring both deep compassion and proven expertise to providing personalized care and promoting independence. Throughout my career, I have collaborated closely with therapists, educators, and families to implement individualized care plans that foster growth and independence. My approach emphasizes patience, understanding, and strong communication--not only with individuals in my care but also with their families and care teams. In every setting, I strive to help individuals build life skills, confidence, and self-reliance. I believe that even the smallest milestones deserve celebration, and I take great pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment. I look forward to the chance to discuss how I can be a positive addition to your family and care team.
