I have cared for vulnerable adults of varying ages and needs, everything from non-verbal and high behaviors to high functioning and every combination therein. I enjoy helping others and I excel at communicating with people in alternative ways, sometimes it can be as simple as what you give them to physically feel or the tone of your voice as you talk but whatever it is you can always connect somehow. I enjoy watching people try new things and work through encouragement. I do not believe in punishment for behaviors, there are natural consequences and those are enough. I enjoy lifting people's self confidence and I focus on realism and positivity!
