Hello! I recently left my job as an ABA therapist to focus on school full time. I'm looking to fill my newly available hours spending time with special needs and kiddos again.I love working with kids & while I cannot provide professional ABA therapy (as I no longer am licensed) I am more than happy to apply the knowledge, experience, & understanding I gained through that job. I believe kids thrive when provided with support & autonomy & I love to be a positive influence in their development. I have worked with folks ages 3-20 who have autism diagnoses or sensory processing sensitivities. I also have extensive experience with the blind community & technology in that realm. Lastly, I'm a certified yoga instructor & I am appreciative of somatic healing. I find that locating and focusing on what one's body is saying is helpful in identifying ones wants & needs! I'm a full time student so my schedule varies, but I am flexible, reliable, & communicative! Please reach out with any questions!

    Sarena is very sincere and has a great personality. She has helped me a lot and I also want to thank her for her flexibility. She is awesome with my kids. My younger one has Down syndrome and autism but Sarena had no problem babysitting him. She also helped my older one with homework and that was also very helpful. Both of my kids love Sarena so much and I would love to ask her for help going forward as long as possible.
