Hello! My name is Amanda. I have worked with children and adolescents with autism and other developmental disabilities for almost 10 years. I am currently working as a BCBA in a public-school setting. I am seeking employment for the summer and possibly into the school year if it is a good fit for everyone! My approach is compassionate, playful, and focuses on building trust and connection. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active- I love yoga, running, hiking, biking and kayaking, and reading. I am open to helping with additional household responsibilities including meal prep, laundry, running errands, cleaning etc.
