I have over eight years of experience working with children and young adults with special needs. I have supported individuals with autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities, communication needs, and behavioral challenges. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, compassion, and understanding each person's individual needs. I enjoy helping individuals build independence, develop new skills, and feel comfortable and supported in their environment. I am dependable, attentive, and passionate about providing care that is respectful, encouraging, and tailored to each individual.
