With over 5 years of experience, including 3+ years as a Registered Behavior Therapist for children with Autism. I have an in-depth understanding of the unique needs and developmental stages of children of all ages. My specialization equips me with valuable insight into working with children on the autism spectrum, creating a nurturing and inclusive environment for their growth and skill development. I also prioritize maintaining a clean and organized space as it is essential for a child's well-being. My vibrant energy and enthusiasm make me a natural with children, forging instant connections. I possess qualifications beyond childcare, such as being a STNA with CPR certification and two years of pre-nursing school education. This background gives me a profound understanding of development and health. I'm also certified in Child Abuse and Neglect prevention. My approach is empathetic and adaptable, ensuring I cater to both your needs and your child's preferences.

I heard Kelly made a Care.com profile and I just had to leave a review. Kelly is amazing! Normally my partner and I are available to watch my four-year-old niece and seven-year-old nephew when needed but we had a wedding to go to. My brother and sister-in-law are careful about who watches them and normally limit caregivers to family since my nephew has autism. A co-worker of mine recommended Kelly for her experience and knowledge in caring for children, especially those with autism as an RBT. I let them know and they got in contact with her. She was easy to reach and very responsive to messages before and while watching the kids. She was very engaging as well as gentle with them. My nephew can be challenging to watch sometimes but she handled all of his needs with ease. Highly recommend her!
