Hello, my name is Avery and I am a fourth-year university student currently studying a combined degree of Special Needs Education and Performing Arts. I have 7 years of experience working with medically complex children. I love developing relationships and building connections with people who often are pushed to the sidelines. I'm fearlessly passionate about inclusion, detail-oriented, warm-hearted, playful and genuine. I'm most experienced in working with individuals with autism, epilepsy, pandas, ADHD, and diabetes, who are nonverbal or have other communication barriers. I'm incredibly patient and well-versed in nonviolent, de-escalating, reregulating techniques and I will do my best to genuinely connect with your child and develop a trusting fun and supportive relationship. I'm thrilled to assist or join your child through any activities like swimming, arts and crafts, outdoor play, educational tasks, basic day-to-day tasks, cooking, baking, fine motor skills, and language development work. I believe care workers have a big responsibility in the well-being of individuals, but should do their best to feel like a friend of family member, while ensuring all any support tasks are thoroughly addressed.
