Hello! My name is Melissa (Mel) and I would love to help care for your loved one. My two teens are both neurodivergent, and I have spent a lot of time learning about ASD, and how best to help them make their way in the world. I have also provided respite care for a medically complex little one who was in the foster system. She was mostly blind, was able to hear but unable to process what she was hearing, had seizures, had both a G and J tube (I am familiar and comfortable with feeding pumps), and so much more. We were working to adopt her from foster care, but the universe had other plans. I would still like to put my experience with her to good use, perhaps helping your loved one?
