I am Kristen and a dedicated caregiver with a unique blend of professional expertise and personal insight. With hands-on experience working in the Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics Department at the University of Rochester, I bring a deep understanding of developmental disabilities, therapeutic strategies, and the importance of individualized care. My passion for caregiving is also deeply personal, I am the proud mother of a daughter with a developmental disability. This dual perspective allows me to approach each client with not just clinical knowledge, but empathy, advocacy, and real-world experience. I specialize in supporting children and individuals with a range of needs, including Autism, creating structured, nurturing environments where they can thrive. From communication and daily routines to emotional support and sensory-sensitive care, I focus on building connection, trust, and confidence in every individual I work with.
