I am a compassionate and dependable caregiver with one year of hands-on experience working with children with disabilities. As a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT), I am trained in implementing behavior intervention plans, supporting skill development, and creating structured, positive environments that help children thrive. My background has taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of individualized care. I have experience working closely with families, therapists, and other professionals to ensure consistent support and progress. Through my work, I’ve developed strong communication skills, the ability to remain calm under pressure, and a deep understanding of behavior management strategies. I am attentive, organized, and committed to maintaining a safe and nurturing environment. In addition to working with children, I am comfortable assisting with light household tasks to help families maintain a smooth daily routine. My goal as a caregiver is always to provide support that promotes independence, confidence, and overall well-being.
