I bring several years of experience working directly with individuals who have mental disabilities, including autism, down syndrome and other cognitive challenges. In my roles as a behavioral technician, caregiver, at supportive living centers, I have developed skills in promoting emotional regulation, encouraging independence, and creating safe, supportive environments. I am patient, attentive, and compassionate, with a strong ability to adapt to each person's unique needs. Whether through assisting with daily living tasks, providing companionship, or using positive reinforcement strategies, I focus on helping individuals feel respected, understood, and empowered in their daily lives.
