Hello, I'm Lo! I manage an ABA Therapy company that provides services to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I recently relocated to NJ to work on my Master's degree in Creative Music Technology, and am looking for part-time, as-needed, or urgent jobs to fulfill my passion for helping those in need as I pursue my education. I started my career in Applied Behavior Analysis as a Registered Behavior Technician, out on the frontlines delivering therapy to youth with ASD. In that position, I witnessed a lot of injustices in the mental healthcare system that were being swept under the rug. I knew I needed to make a difference, but I could only do so much within the confines of my role. So I took a leap of faith; I jumped into a leadership position and devoted my time to building and managing an ABA company that put client's needs at Read more the forefront of its operations. Before working in ABA, I provided at-home childcare, helping families actualize their kiddo's goals while juggling their own daily life. The cornerstone of my career has always been supporting children in their development. I carry a strong foundation of knowledge and passion for delivering individualized care to youth of all ages. As I switch gears toward Creative Music Technology, and my dream to build a recreational space for youth to engage with music in a safe setting, I'm drawn back to my roots – helping families and kids in need of an extra hand. If your family is seeking a compassionate, knowledgable, and positive care provider, please don't hesitate to reach out. I would love to become a member of your support system and assist in the well-being of your child!

Laura was fantastic with my one-year-old son. As soon as she arrived and started interacting with him I knew it was going to be a great night for everyone. I was so relieved to find someone I could trust with my baby. Highly recommend!

Laura is fantastic. She is responsible, kind, patient, hard-working, and always willing to help out. She has been regularly sitting for us for several months. My son is neurodiverse and one of the reasons we hired her is her passion for working with children with differences and special needs. I highly recommend her.
