Hello! I'm Spring. I am a heart-centered caregiver with a sharp mind, relaxed sense of humor and decades of expertise caring for a vast spectrum of disorders and disabilities. I have extensive experience with Autism, Down's syndrome, ADHD, Cerebral palsy, deaf-blindness as a DeafBlind Intervener, SPD, PDD, Alzheimer's/dementia, and various other diagnosis. My skills range from managing physical/cognitive challenges, ABA skills, tutoring, bowel/bladder management, bathing/dressing, tube feeding, an array of extracurricular activities, and more. I've fostered longterm relationships with physicians, PT/OT/SLP's, and other providers in support of the special humans I've been privileged to care for. I am a life long animal lover, having fostered and cared for all manner of creatures. I am deeply devoted to my pets and to my large, loving family. I am eager to acquire new skills and am always seeking to grow. I welcome the chance to meet you and to flourish with you and your loved ones.

    Spring was an absolute gift to my family at a critical transition point in our lives. My son is on the autism spectrum and exhibits a number of behaviors which come and go (some more extreme than others) and Spring handled him with grace, poise, compassion, kindness and empathy. She is warm, calm, patient and caring. Her heart for all people is big and generous and my children adored her. My son was very comfortable around her and after a few visits he let down his guard and trusted her presence, which is not an easy feat. My 9 year old dubbed her "the best sitter" after day 1. Spring is a gem and rarity; in a world where special needs sitters are hard to find, Spring really stands out. We could not be more blessed to have her in our lives!
