My passion for working with individuals with special needs began when my younger sister was diagnosed with Down syndrome. Since then, I have gained experience supporting children and adults with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and developmental disabilities. I have worked as a caregiver and nanny for children with special needs and currently work in an inclusive community program for individuals of all abilities, helping with educational activities, social interaction, creative projects, daily support, and community inclusion. I am patient, compassionate, creative, and dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment where every person feels valued and understood. Bilingual: Portuguese & English.
