I am a compassionate and experienced caregiver with a deep personal understanding of special needs care. As a mother of a young adult with special needs, I bring patience, empathy, and real-life experience to every family I support. I also provide dedicated care for an autistic young lady, assisting with daily routines, communication, and emotional support. I am calm, attentive, and skilled in creating structured, safe, and nurturing environments. I prioritize dignity, consistency, and clear communication while following individualized care plans. My goal is to provide dependable, understanding care while supporting independence and quality of life.
