Hello! I'm Skyler, with over 4 years of experience specializing in autism care in the Chicagoland area. I excel as a Respite Caregiver, skilled in G-tube feedings, personal hygiene, and positive behavior support techniques for teens with autism. My journey began in 2019 at Joliet Park District, where I supported teens and adults with autism. Since then, I've gained valuable experience as a CNA and Personal Support Worker, followed by roles as a nanny for a preschooler with mobility challenges and a preschool inclusion aide. In early 2023, I became a Registered Behavior Technician, providing ABA services in Chicago. I've worked in-home, at a research lab, and most recently at a multi-disciplinary clinic offering ABA, OT, PT, and ST for children and teens aged 3-18. I am eager to provide neurodivergent-affirming support to your child or teen and look forward to connecting with you!
