Hi! I'm a CNA and nursing student with hands-on experience supporting individuals with developmental disabilities and children with autism. I'm calm, patient, and very observant, and I genuinely love building trust with each person I work with--especially when routines, sensory needs, or communication styles matter. I focus on safety, dignity, and consistency while still keeping things fun and positive. I'm comfortable with mobility support, hygiene/ADLs, meal prep, medication reminders (as allowed), documentation, and following care plans. I also understand how important it is to work as a team with parents/guardians, therapists, and teachers to keep care consistent across environments. Families describe me as reliable, nurturing, and proactive--someone who takes initiative, communicates clearly, and stays steady even on hard days. I'd love to support your family and become someone you can truly count on.
