Hi! I’m Peter (he/him), a reliable and playful caregiver based in Greater Boston. I hold a degree in Psychology and have years of experience supporting children and young adults of all abilities, including those with intensive support needs. I’m CPR, First Aid, and safety certified, proficient in ASL, and trained in de-escalation and inclusive communication. Experience: My caregiving journey began early—as an older sibling, I was eight when my younger siblings were born and quickly became a trusted babysitter in our home. Since then, I've continued supporting youth and families in both personal and professional roles. I’ve safely driven and supervised groups of disabled adults in the community, ensuring smooth, respectful outings and timely returns to the program. I’ve led trips to Boston museums, the aquarium, local parks, and neighborhoods like the North End. I know the Greater Boston area well and love helping kids explore safely and joyfully. I Read more also have experience coordinating creative and engaging activities—like arts and crafts, holiday celebrations, and educational programming—tailored to a wide range of abilities and sensory needs. I’ve organized events for up to 50 people and designed inclusive programming for after-school and college-readiness settings. I’ve worked with middle schoolers in career and success programs and led college seminar classrooms for incoming first-year students. I have lifelong experience tutoring peers and students in subjects like English, Math, basic Spanish, Psychology, and History. I love catering curriculum to each person’s learning style and finding the right mix of challenge and encouragement. Style: My caregiving style often starts with quiet observation to build trust. From there, I follow each child’s lead—offering warmth, structure, and sensory-friendly tools like fidgets and visuals. I bring a calm presence and a deep respect for neurodiversity into every interaction. I grew up playing sports and still love being active—whether it’s hiking, swinging, or park time. I also enjoy card games, video games, and creative expression. I’d love to get to know your family and support your child in feeling seen, celebrated, and free to be themselves.
