Caring for those with special needs is absolutely what I am most passionate about. I have a bachelors in moderate special education PreK-8 and a masters in Severe Special Education. I currently work in Malden MA as a special education teacher. I work with individuals with a range of special needs. I have worked with children as young as 6 years old to adults with special needs as old as 23. I have experience in ABA as an in home ABA therapist and have worked in Sped classrooms such as multi handicapped, ASD, and behavioral emotional. This is what I love to do and I can not see myself doing anything else.

    We have LOVED having Olivia! She is very helpful in making our kids feel welcomed. She constantly tries new things to help a kid feel comfortable when they are crying and can calm them down. She truly has an intuition on how to find the needs each and every kid need and meet it. She adapts quickly, is outgoing, and is a definite problem solver. She has always showed up on time and if she will be gone she communicates that in plenty of advance notice!
