After more than seven years with my current respite care family, the children I support are now teenagers and no longer need weekly care. I’m looking forward to supporting a new family with the same consistency, reliability, and long-term commitment. Caring for individuals with complex needs has been part of my life since childhood. My stepbrother, Lucas, had cerebral palsy, nonverbal autism, and epilepsy, and growing up alongside him shaped both my empathy and my understanding of what meaningful respite care looks like—for the individual and for the family. Inspired by this experience, I spent eight years working as a caregiver in group home settings and have continued providing part-time respite care even after changing my primary career path in 2017. I also bring experience as a life skills instructor for adults with developmental disabilities and traumatic brain injuries, as well as teaching independent living skills to youth and young Read more adults experiencing homelessness. These roles strengthened my ability to support emotional regulation, communication differences, and varying levels of independence with patience and respect. I believe effective respite care is built on active engagement, flexibility, and trust. I enjoy learning alongside the people I support through outdoor time, reading, community outings, and hands-on activities such as Legos, arts and crafts, science experiments, puzzles, and movement-based play. I also value calm, restorative time and am comfortable supporting downtime, sensory breaks, and relaxation strategies when needed. I see respite care as both meaningful support for the individual and genuine relief for families—and I take that responsibility seriously.
