I am a mother of a 12-year-old boy on the autism spectrum. I also have a 9-year-old son. I am very patient. I love to make children laugh. I know how hard it is to trust your child with someone and I hold myself up to the highest standards when providing care to children. I currently work/or have cared for children with a broad range of needs. I currently specialize in children on the autism spectrum, specifically behavioral support and interventions, working to maintain IEP goals and provide an overlap between academic and professional support to home. I also have extensive experience with children and young adults with ADHD, sensory processing disorder, non-verbal learning disability, special diets, and mood-disorders. I have a Master's Degree in Education and my Masters in Applied Behavioral Analysis. I have professional experience working as an ABA setting in home and school settings. I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).

    Kristy has cared for my 4 and 2 year old and they loved her. She was wonderfully caring and thoughtful in her play with the children. She is extremely responsible and proactive and I would have her watch my kids anytime.
