Over several years, I provided care for dozens of children with a wide range of needs, including learning disabilities supported by IEPs, as well as children navigating grief, trauma, and emotional regulation challenges. Known for being highly adaptable, emotionally intelligent, and quick to assess and respond to each child’s individual behavioral and developmental needs.
Skilled in building structured yet flexible routines, managing challenging behaviors, and fostering safe, supportive environments. Strong communicator with parents and caregivers, providing clear updates, collaborative input, and consistent follow-through to ensure consistency of care and support. Passionate about helping children thrive through patience, structure, and individualized attention.
I have been diagnosed with Dyslexia and ADHD, and throughout my school years, I benefited from an IEP that provided accommodations like extra time on tests, one-on-one support during assignments, and movement breaks. Going through this experience myself has given me a genuine empathy and passion for working with children who have learning differences. I’ve come to see these diagnoses not as limitations, but as unique strengths—kind of like superpowers—that have shaped who I am and how I approach challenges.
In the workplace, I’m very skilled at creating systems and strategies that help me overcome processing challenges so they don’t impact my productivity. This proactive approach allows me to stay organized, efficient, and focused, ensuring I consistently meet or exceed expectations as an employee.
