I'm Lydia, and I bring both personal & professional experience in supporting individuals of all abilities. I am CPR First Aid, and RBT certified, as well as SafeCare trained. As a mother of a special needs child, I understand the importance of patience, empathy, routine, & individualized care. I have worked as a BHT, RBT, Employment Training Specialist (Job Coach), & Paraprofessional in an Autistic Support classroom. I have extensive experience working with children, teens, and adults across a wide range of abilities. Along with providing a nurturing and supportive environment, I believe in the importance of having fun. I'm a strong believer in communication & always strive to stay connected. I am able to share my background checks such as FBI Reports, Child Abuse History, PA State Criminal History, CPR, First Aid, RBT Certification, Tuberculosis Test results, and references upon request. I also have reliable transportation.
