As a mother of an 8-year-old with ASD I'm passionate about providing exceptional care and support to children on the autism spectrum. I am a certified RBT and have training in CPR and first aid. With 10+ years of experience in childcare, I've developed a deep understanding of the unique needs and strengths of autistic children. I have a solid background in creating sensory-friendly environments, developing personalized schedules, and implementing effective communication strategies that help children thrive. I am committed to fostering a safe and nurturing atmosphere where every child can explore their potential. My patience, empathy, and keen ability to listen enable me to build strong, trust-based relationships with the children I care for. I believe in naturalistic learning and development, incorporating fun and creativity into daily routines. Whether it's through arts and crafts, music, or sensory play, I'm dedicated to making each day an exciting learning experience. (South Tampa)
