I'm a creative, compassionate, and easy-going person with over 6 years of experience as a Special Education Teacher. I've worked across various special education settings and feel comfortable providing behavioral, social, and academic support, along with specialized, loving care. In my free time, I enjoy arts and crafts and exploring new places with my dogs. I'm new to the west coast, having recently moved from Baltimore, MD, while I wait for my California teaching certification to transfer. I'd love to support your family in whatever way works best -- whether that's attentive supervision, fun activities together, helping maintain skills and routines at home, or simply giving you some trusted time away. I also know basic sign language and have years of experience with assistive technology, so I'm comfortable adapting to different communication styles and tools.
