I have provided special needs care for children and adults for over 2 years. I was first trained in a preschool setting with children on the spectrum in 2015. I have cared mostly for individuals with autism (verbal and non-verbal), but have care experience with other disabilities such as, fibromyalgia, dementia, blindness and more. I am extremely passionate about helping ALL people in need, especially in marginalized communities. I like to keep in mind "How can I accommodate everyone's needs?" while I engage in all of my work.
