About Nicola

31 years old Speaks English
I am a certified DIR Floortime Therapist with experience working with children with Autism, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder, Blindness/Low Vision, and intellectual disabilities. I worked as a Floortime Therapist-Educator and Parent Support Coordinator at Canada's only DIR Floortime school in Mississauga for the past 3 years, and previously worked as a highly sought after respite provider and caregiver. I am moving to London to attend grad school at Western and am looking for casual/part-time work as a Floortime Therapist and/or respite worker. I am passionate about meeting a child where they are at and following their lead. I believe in creating a meaningful relationship with the child or teen I am working with, and creating experiences which focus on attuning to individual differences, play, sensory exploration, and most importantly fun!

It was very clear from the onset that Nicola and our 15 month old daughter hit it off quite nicely. She made her laugh, smile, and enjoy her time immensely. It was quite refreshing to see a caregiver with such passion and enthusiasm for her role in caring for our little one. Looking forward to our next adventure with such a fun loving caregiver.
