Summary

I am a compassionate and dependable caregiver with a nursing background and hands-on experience supporting both children and seniors. I bring patience, empathy, and strong communication skills to every interaction, and I am passionate about helping individuals with developmental needs reach their full potential. As a bilingual English and Spanish speaker, I can connect with diverse families and provide care that feels supportive and inclusive. I am eager to grow as a Registered Behavior Technician by applying ABA strategies to make a meaningful difference in the lives of clients and their families.
