I have over 7 years of experience working with individuals with special needs across all ages. Most recently, I spent the summer providing full-time care for a 3-year-old boy with light to moderate autism, assisting with potty training, meal prep, and reinforcing speech and occupational therapy goals. I'm skilled in creating structured, supportive environments, adapting communication tools, and managing sensory needs with patience and empathy. I've also served as a camp counselor for siblings of pediatric cancer patients, offering emotional support to children coping with grief and complex family dynamics. I'm trilingual in Vietnamese, Spanish, and English, allowing me to provide culturally sensitive care. I'm dependable, calm under pressure, and committed to helping each individual feel safe, empowered, and understood. Whether supporting a child or an adult, I focus on consistent, compassionate care that respects the unique strengths and needs of the person I'm working with.
