About Lucy

Experience: 4 yrs

I am a compassionate and dependable caregiver with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and several years of experience supporting children and adults, including extensive work with individuals on the autism spectrum and other developmental differences. My background includes caregiving, education, and life-skills support, where I've helped individuals build confidence, independence, and emotional well-being. I am passionate about recognizing each child's unique personality, strengths, and talents. I love discovering what helps each individual feel safe, understood, and empowered-whether that means adapting communication styles, creating supportive routines, or encouraging creativity and self-expression. My approach is patient, warm, and relationship-focused. I have reliable transportation, a clean driving record, and am fully COVID-vaccinated. I am safety-minded, consistent, and committed to creating a nurturing environment where children can thrive.
