Caring for individuals with special needs has been a lifelong commitment for me. I have a younger brother with Dravet syndrome and autism, as well as a 6-year-old brother with high-functioning autism, ADHD, and OCD, whom I've helped care for their entire lives. These experiences have given me deep insight into neurodiversity and personalized care. Beyond my family experience, I've volunteered as a Special Olympics coach for six years, working with individuals of all abilities. I'm also pursuing a degree in psychology and neuroscience to further understand cognitive and behavioral development. I'm passionate about creating a supportive, structured, and nurturing environment that fosters confidence and independence. Whether assisting with daily tasks, social skills, or emotional support, I approach every interaction with patience and empathy. If you're looking for a dedicated, experienced caregiver, I'd love to connect!
