Hello there! My name is Samantha. I am 27 years old and have 11 years of experience working with individuals with special needs. 5 years of those years, I worked with a teen boy with autism who was non verbal. I am familiar with ABA therapies and thinking outside of the box to work with individuals to help them best understand a situation. I am a recent graduate from SCSU, I majored in psychology and women's/gender studies. I am looking to get my masters in clinical psychology so I can continue making an impact in this field and with the individuals I love working with! I have references available upon request.

    Samantha worked directly with my special needs daughter 20+ hours a week for 3 year before relocating. We continue to hire Samantha for occasional respite/overnight care. She developed a great relationship with my daughter and understands/responds to her needs. She is trustworthy, caring and empathetic. I highly recommend!
