Experience: 15 yrs
I have 15+ years of professional child care experience, specializing in autism and special needs support. I have worked with individuals from age 2 through 32 and am comfortable supporting a wide range of needs. Families often describe me as FUN, intuitive, and deeply attuned. I focus on helping individuals feel safe, understood, and supported while building confidence and independence. I have extensive experience with: • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) levels 1-3 • Non-speaking individuals • Meltdowns, shutdowns, and dysregulation • Sensory sensitivities and sensory-seeking behaviors • Anxiety, rigid thinking, and difficulty with transitions • Elopement risk and safety awareness challenges • Executive functioning deficit and task avoidance • Skilled de-escalation and co-regulation & safety procedures to minimize self injury. • Supported communication (letter boards, spelling, AAC & sign language) • ARFID support and custom safe-food meal preparation •Seizure aware support
Sarah has a light within her that shines throughout her generosity wisdom and the care she provides to the people she supports.
