I have experience caring children with autism spectrum, including those with high-functioning autism/Asperger's nonverbal communication needs. Creating structured, and calming environments that help children feel safe and supported. I understand sensory sensitivities, communication differences, and behavioral needs, and I adapt my approach to each child individually. I use patience, consistency, visual cues when needed, routine-based structure, and positive reinforcement to support emotional regulation, independence, and confidence, working with nonverbal children and adjusting my caregiving style to meet each child's developmental level. I prioritize calm transitions, clear expectations, and stable routines to reduce anxiety and encourage engagement. My nursing background of child development and behavior, allowing me to provide compassionate, informed, and consistent care. I work closely with families to ensure continuity between home routines and any therapeutic or educational goals
