Hi! I’m Sabrina — a college student and part-time Behavior Therapist with a passion for working with children. I’ve been a BT for the past year, supporting kids with autism and a wide range of behavioral needs, from ages 2 to 11. I’ve received professional training in managing tantrums, emotional regulation, and challenging behaviors—and I genuinely love what I do. I can clean, provide transportation, play, and do other necessary tasks! I’m also CPR certified (as of March) and always prioritize creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for every child in my care.

Nurturing children and supporting families has been my passion for 13 years. Recently I was a 1:1 paraprofessional for a student with down syndrome and I was a substitute paraprofessional for a student with autism. I am a patient, creative caregiver who loves engaging kids through outdoor sports, educational games, and imaginative crafts. I am comfortable managing multiple children and following your household rules to maintain consistency. I value open communication and will provide updates through your preferred method, whether that is a text or a conversation at pickup. I also assist with meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping to keep your home running smoothly. I am certified as a Paraeducator in NH and I am currently enrolled in courses to become a Registered Behavioral Therapist. I look forward to being a positive part of your family's daily life!! Happy to submit my resume upon request!
