Hi! I'm a licensed special education teacher in Massachusetts with 15+ years of experience supporting individuals with autism, learning disabilities, and diverse developmental needs. I offer compassionate, individualized care focused on building trust, communication, and independence. I'm experienced with IEPs, behavior strategies, emotional regulation, and life skills support. I have worked in schools, homes, and community settings and bring a calm, consistent presence to every situation. I also have basic sign language skills and experience supporting nonverbal individuals using AAC and other methods. I tailor care to meet each person's unique strengths while working closely with families to ensure consistency and support. If you're looking for a reliable, experienced caregiver who understands special needs and truly cares, I'd love to connect!
