New to Care
This is a criminal background check required for all caregiver before they can message families.
I'm on a new path after a long career in tech and a 20year marriage, moving toward work that's more people-centered and meaningful. I plan to apply to graduate school in January 2027 to become a therapist, and I'm looking for caregiving opportunities that let me support others while continuing to learn and grow. I bring patience, empathy, and curiosity to my work. I've managed my own ADHD and have raised neurodivergent children, so I understand the challenges and strengths that come with autism, ADHD, and emotional regulation. I try to meet each person where they are and create a calm, steady environment built on trust and respect. When I'm not working, I love spending time with my teenage son - we go climbing together, play basketball, and usually end up at Shake Shack afterward.
