I have a huge heart for working with individuals with special needs and have 4+ years of experience supporting children and young adults with autism and other developmental disabilities across home, school, and community settings. I've worked as a Behavior Technician implementing ABA therapy, a Paraprofessional in special education classrooms, and a Respite Care Provider, so I'm very comfortable with a wide range of needs and behaviors. I know how to stay calm, patient, and positive even in challenging moments because I genuinely care about the people I support. I'm experienced with following IEP and BIP plans, administering medications, supporting daily living skills like bathing, dressing, and grooming, and keeping open communication with parents and guardians every step of the way. I treat every person I work with as an individual and always lead with kindness and respect.
