Hi! My name is Ava, and I am currently on track to graduate with my bachelor’s degree in Special Education in 2026. I specialize in supporting children with higher behavioral needs and have over a decade of hands-on experience working with children of all ages and abilities. My background includes babysitting, nannying, working in professional childcare settings, and providing in-home support. I also have extensive experience offering respite care for infants and children with special needs. Additionally, I am comfortable caring for infants—from newborns and up—and pride myself on being attentive, calm, and nurturing. Whether I’m soothing a fussy baby or supporting a child with complex behavioral needs through a challenging moment, I approach every situation with patience, empathy, and a steady hand. My ultimate goal is to provide care that is compassionate, reliable, and truly individualized—so children feel secure, understood, and ready to thrive.
