My time working as a teaching assistant in a school for special students has prepared me really well for caregiving outside of the school setting. I've supported individuals with a range of disorders & disabilities, so I'm comfortable providing both physical and emotional support. I've worked closely with therapists and families, followed individualized plans, and used tools like ABA therapy to help with communication and behavior. Whether it's helping with daily routines, encouraging independence, or just being a steady, respectful presence, I bring a strong understanding of how to support people in a way that meets their unique needs. These experiences have strengthened my ability to adapt to different situations, build meaningful connections, and deliver high-quality care in any environment.
