I have worked for special needs clients, seniors and children. I have a warm balanced personality aiming to effectively fill the overall needs of the individuals and/or families I choose to provide care for. I proactively accomplish this by utilizing my creative nature, along with my broad experience and education to deliver top level care. I focus on creating an environment that encourages quality of life. I am a trained, certified special needs provider. As a direct support professional, I have provided live-in care for over four years and live-out care for five years. I have also provided house management, office management and property management for a NP agency as well as private care assignments. I work well independently and am an asset to a team. I am a great leader and willing follower with the overall goal of support. I am comfortable wearing several hats and multitask easily.

    I have an adult special needs brother that lives with us. He's 45, but 7ish mentally and nonverbal. I can't say enough good about Synthia. I hired her to be a friend/mentor to my brother so he would have some autonomy in his life provide him with a fun, social outlet. She takes him on outings a couple times a month. Synthia is an absolute natural. Very comfortable with him. She's gone to great lengths to build a fun friendship, learn his interests and plan fun outings that he would enjoy. He can hardly wait for their get together days. She's an amazing lady through and through.
