I have over five years of experience working as a Registered Behavior Technician with children and teenagers ages 2–17. I have supported children with different communication, behavioral and developmental needs in both home and community settings. My experience includes helping with daily routines, play, homework, communication skills, social skills and age-appropriate activities. I am also familiar with PECS, basic ASL, positive reinforcement and safely responding to challenging behaviors. I am patient, dependable and attentive and I always work to make children feel comfortable, understood and safe. I enjoy building trusting relationships with both children and their families while providing care that fits each child’s personality and individual needs.
“Kulvir looked after my 1-year-old son for the day. She was punctual, warm, and kept him engaged the entire time with books, toys, and lots of interaction. She took care of feeding him meals, cleanup, diaper changes, and rocked him to sleep for his nap. My son noticeably loved spending time with her. As an anxious parent checking in throughout the day, she completely put my mind at ease. I feel fully confident having her watch him again and highly recommend her!”

I am a full time employee as a diesel mechanic at a local tractor shop and a part time student. I also am in the middle of trying to get my own small business up and running. When I am not at school I am hanging out with my family, cooking family dinners or cleaning or maybe even studying for my classes! I have taken three years of American Sign Language in High School. I am not fluent but will be more than happy to try my best if it will come in handy! (Please be understanding I am rusty since I don’t use it much) If you have any questions at all please feel free to message me!
“Ashley was great. Showed up on time and had an easy-going engagement with my son. She fed him and put him to bed, and Nik had a great time.”
