Hello, my name is Colleen and I am an experienced direct care specialist and caregiver. I have provided support to many various groups of individuals throughout my career. I have worked with the elderly, disabled individuals in a group home setting that required 24 hour care, and outpatient support for people with mental health and substance use issues. I am passionate about this field of work because there is no better feeling in the world than being able to make a positive impact in a person's life.

    Colleen was a Godsend for our family, specifically for our 14yo daughter. Our daughter has autism, epilepsy, and PTSD with occasional behavioral outbursts that require 2:1 care. Colleen provided great support for her both at home and school and was part of the team of people that made it possible for my husband and I to go away for our 25th anniversary. We are sad that she moved back to NY, but hope the best for her!
