Hello, I'm Candy R., a passionate and reliable childcare professional with 15+ years of experience supporting neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals from infancy through adulthood. I am a RBT certified since 2015 and currently work as a Program Supervisor while collecting hours to become a BCaCA. I graduated in May 2024 with a BS in Psychology in ABA. I also hold AS in Psychology and Social Behavioral Sciences. Over the years, I've supported families in roles such as babysitter, nanny, after-school teacher, caregiver, paraprofessional, and behavior therapist. I've worked in homes, schools, clinics, community outings, field trips, transition programs, and family vacations. My diverse experience allows me to adapt easily to any family culture and provide consistent, high-quality care. I am committed to making life easier for families while promoting each child's growth and independence. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, reliable vehicle, and comfortable with pets.

    Candy has been with my family since April 2018. She is a kind, loving and a caring person. She not only is my son's ABA therapist, but she also helps with my other children as well. She has now become apart of our family. I know that I can completely trust her with any of my children. She is very patient and knows how to work with children of all ages. I can truly see her passion for working with children when I see her arrive at my home and check in with each one of my children, asking how their day went and making sure they all feel heard. Candy is a wonderful caring person would be a great addition to any family. We will definitely keep her in our family for years to come.
