Hello! I'm Maura, a retired educator with 30+ years of experience supporting children with autism, developmental delays, and learning differences. I previously owned a Montessori daycare and worked in public schools with high-functioning students. While I do not discriminate against any diagnosis, I'm only able to work with individuals who are non-aggressive and emotionally regulated. I'm happy to provide gentle companionship, play games, and offer positive, structured interaction-but my role is limited to non-physical, calm engagement. Looking forward to connecting with families seeking respectful, light support.
