Thank you for the opportunity to explore how I may support your care needs. I have over 30 years of experience caring for children of all ages prioritizing safety and helping them feel secure and confident. I offer support with morning, evening routines and transitions, all self-care, meal prep, playtime, extracurriculars, homework, transportation, light housekeeping, and laundry as needed. I strive to maintain a calm, motivating presence that keeps kids engaged and grounded in their daily lives. My background as a board certified OT licensed in more than one state equips me to support children with a wide range of special needs: med, phys limitations, brushing, stim redirectn and feeding improvem methods, but it is important to note that my role through this source is to support caretaking needs with the extra benefit of being an OT. I love working in this space because it brings together my clinical strengths and passion for helping people live the most meaningful lives possible.
