Hi, I'm Linda. I have an 18-year-old son diagnosed at birth with cerebral palsy and epilepsy, and my greatest qualification is the life we've lived together. I also have 10+ years of paid experience caring for children and young adults with special needs. My experience includes cerebral palsy, sensory processing challenges, speech delays, AAC devices, repetitive behaviors, stimming, tics, aggression, defiance, elopement, seizures, incontinence, mobility assistance, medication support, hygiene, transportation, meal prep, life skills, and IEP/504 advocacy. People often ask why I continue this work. Because I know how difficult it is to find someone you can truly trust. I understand the ache of wondering if someone will be kind, patient, and truly understand your child. My goal isn't just to care for your loved one--it's to support your family, too.
