As a compassionate and experienced caregiver, I have had the privilege of providing specialized support to individuals with diverse special needs. I have assisted individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy, tailoring my care to meet their unique needs and abilities. My responsibilities have included implementing behavioral support plans, developing and leading adaptive activities, and providing personal care and hygiene support. I have also supported individuals with complex medical needs, including tracheostomy care, seizure management, and medication administration. Through my work, I have sought to promote independence, self-expression, and joy in those I care for, and have been humbled by the trust and connection that has developed through our relationships.
