Hi there! I am a professional caretaker with experience in caring for toddlers, children, and adults with ASD, Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and FAS. I am a very positive and caring individual with attention to detail in all aspects of work. My goal in work is to make your child feel save, loved, and cared for:) I graduated last year with my bachelor's of science in psychology with a minor in sociology. I understand the caution and care needed to take care of those with special disabilities. I studied ASL for two years to enhance my ability to communicate with non verbal kiddos and adults. I also assisted in teaching/learning braille for a year to gain experience in working with our blind community. I will follow any instructions you provide and I am open to any constructive criticism as I am caring for your child. Please reach out if you think I would be a good fit for your family. Samantha
