My name is Samantha, and caring for individuals with special needs is not just my career-it's my calling. I've worked as a Direct Support Professional for years, supporting people with autism, developmental disabilities, and behavioral challenges in both daily living and community settings. I know how important consistency, patience, and compassion are, and I strive to build trust and confidence with every person I work with. As a parent of a child with special needs, I know firsthand the importance of having someone dependable, understanding, and kind on your team
