Making a positive impact in someone's life is what drives me. As a compassionate and empathetic caregiver, I strive to create a comfortable environment for those I care for. I have one year of experience as a direct support professional, providing daily support to adults with autism and other developmental disabilities, managing and documenting their behaviors, and teaching them functional skills. I have a BA in psychology and have completed some further coursework at a graduate level. I am skilled in transportation, errands and shopping, and meal preparation. I am also trained in CPR and First Aid. I always follow the family's preferred communication method regarding their loved one's well-being. I would love to bring my calm and patient demeanor to your family.
