am a high-energy, compassionate caregiver with a deep passion for supporting individuals with special needs. My experience is both personal and professional. Growing up with a younger brother with Down syndrome and a sister who suffered from chronic seizures has given me lifelong familiarity, comfort, and understanding when it comes to providing patient, attentive, and loving care. Professionally, I have worked as a Pre-K teacher and nanny, where I developed strong skills in structure, encouragement, and individualized support. As a chiropractic assistant, I also worked closely with patients of varying physical needs, helping guide exercises and offering hands-on assistance with care and mobility. I am dependable, warm, and committed to creating a safe, uplifting environment. I truly believe in showing up with consistency, kindness, and positive energy every day.
