I am a compassionate, patient, and dependable caregiver with professional experience supporting individuals with developmental disabilities and special needs. Through my work as a Direct Support Professional (DSP) in a group home, I have developed strong skills in providing individualized care, encouraging independence, supporting daily routines, and creating a safe, positive environment. I am CPR and First Aid certified, MAP certified, and have CNA and Home Health Aide training. I understand that every child and teenager has unique abilities, personalities, and needs. I believe in building trust, communicating with kindness, and making learning and everyday activities enjoyable. I especially enjoy encouraging creativity, helping individuals develop life skills, and celebrating their accomplishments, no matter how small. I am reliable, attentive, adaptable, and passionate about making a meaningful difference in the lives of children, teens, and their families.
