About Kalkidan

Experience: 3 yrs

I'm a compassionate caregiver with a graduate degree and over three years of experience supporting adults, seniors, and children. My approach is grounded in Positive Behavior Support (PBS) and Oregon Intervention System (OIS), with a focus on emotional regulation, respectful redirection, and person-centered care. I assist with daily routines, transportation, errands, and meal prep, and I'm CPR and First Aid certified. I adapt easily to changing needs and respond to stress or confusion with calm, empathetic care. I also love engaging children in creative, age-appropriate activities that foster emotional growth and independence. I keep families informed through clear, respectful communication-whether through daily reports or verbal updates tailored to your preferences. Supporting well-being across all ages is not just my job-it's my calling.
