Summary

Dedicated and devoted caregiver with five years of one-on-one experience caring for a nonverbal autistic child. I strike a balance between compassion and structure to provide a safe, consistent atmosphere adapted to each individual's requirements. Every summer, I also work on labor-intensive projects like landscaping and drywall, proving my physical endurance and excellent work ethic. As the oldest of four siblings and a former three-sport athlete in high school, I learned leadership qualities, personal discipline, and a strong dedication to physical and mental health. Known for being a committed, dependable worker with a thorough awareness of individual requirements. I'm also passionate about health and fitness, having carried over my athletic attitude from high school, when I competed in three sports. I appreciate discipline, enthusiasm, and good impact, all of which I apply to my summer landscaping and construction duties. As the oldest of four children, I automatically assume leadership and mentoring responsibilities, providing insight and dedication in whatever I do.
