Hi, I’m Mary Ellen (M.E. for short). I’m a warm, compassionate, attentive caretaker and graduate student. I’m looking for part-time to full-time opportunities while I complete my degree. I have experience with infants, toddlers, pre-teens, special needs adults, and pets. I currently provide community habilitation services to young women with autism and intellectual disabilities, including remote job coaching, mentorship, and executive functioning support. With years of reporting, interviewing, and managing complex workflows as a journalist, I bring strong communication, patience, and problem-solving skills to caregiving. My background has trained me to stay calm under pressure, listen closely, and respond thoughtfully when supporting my clients. I’m organized, dependable, and skilled at creating structure while encouraging independence and creativity. My experience collaborating with diverse communities has strengthened my ability to connect with individuals from different backgrounds and build trust quickly. Above all, I’m empathetic and committed to fostering a safe, positive environment where each individual feels heard, supported, and engaged.
Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m 30 years old and have been working in special education for nearly 10 years. I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and am a proud San Jose State University alum, go Spartans! Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with children and teens ages 4 through 19. I began my career as an ABA therapist for children with autism, which led me to roles supporting various school districts by coordinating services and assisting students with special needs. My experience spans transitional kindergarten through high school, and in my earlier years, I also worked at summer camps and after-school programs. As the oldest of four siblings, caregiving has always been a natural part of my life. A little about me is I love to travel and explore new cultures!
