Hello! My name is Mary, and I've often been compared to Mary Poppins, which I love. I bring joy and a nurturing nature, truly loving what I do. I specialize in providing compassionate, engaging care for children and adults with special needs. I believe that every individual has their own unique way of communicating and experiencing the world, and my goal is to meet them exactly where they are. As a Kripalu trained yoga teacher, I bring a calm, grounded energy to my work. I don't just "watch" my clients; I focus on enrichment, physical well-being, and emotional regulation. I have experience working with a variety of needs, including e. g., Autism, ADHD, Down Syndrome and complex medical concerns. I am patient, dependable, and highly adaptable to different routines and communication styles (including non-verbal cues). My goal is simple: To provide a safe, joyful environment where your loved one feels seen, supported, and empowered. I would love to talk with you!
