Hi there! I'd love the opportunity to support your family while continuing to expand my experience caring for individuals with special needs. I have 10. 5 years of caregiving experience with individuals ages 9-82 in private homes, facilities, and assisted living. My passion for caregiving began with my autistic brother. I played an active role in advocating for his needs and helping strengthen his speech, fine and gross motor skills, independence, and confidence through engaging activities and therapeutic techniques. Professionally, I have experience supporting individuals with autism, ADHD, cancer, quadriplegia, paraplegia, MS, ALS, TBIs, and Down syndrome. I also assist with PT/OT exercises, speech and music-based activities, and relaxation techniques. I'm CPR/First Aid certified through the American Heart Association and currently attend nursing school. I'd love to see if I'm a great fit for your family!
