Hi, I'm Kiernan! I'm a compassionate and dependable caregiver with experience supporting individuals with special needs, including autism. I've worked in special education settings and have been deeply influenced by my upbringing, as both of my parents are special education educators. This has given me a strong foundation in patience, understanding, and providing respectful, individualized care. I'm currently training to become an end-of-life doula, which has strengthened my ability to offer calm, attentive, and compassionate support, especially during sensitive stages of life. I'm also a musician and cello teacher, and I've seen how meaningful music can be as a therapeutic and calming tool. I'm happy to incorporate it when appropriate. I believe everyone deserves dignity, patience, and respect regardless of age or ability. I'm reliable, attentive, and committed to creating a safe and supportive environment. I also love animals and am very comfortable working in homes with pets.
