I am a childcare provider with 10+ years of experience who has worked in a variety of settings from science museums to Montessori schools in addition to extensive experience as a private nanny. My focus is working with neurodivergent children, and I bring to the table both work experience and lived experience. I have experience cooking for a variety of dietary needs (vegan, Celiac, Kosher, severe food allergies). I have worked with medically complex children that require oral and subcutaneous medication, feeding tube management, and other assistance with ADLs. Additional, I have worked as a paraeducator for ASD children and adults and have training on safely deescalating and interrupting harmful behaviors. I hold a "Basic Life Support" credential, which is the expanded " healthcare professional" version of a CPR/first aid class. In my downtime, I am a very active person and like to dance, rock climb, and do aerial arts Read more (think Cirque du Soleil!). I have one cat who goes hiking adventures with me and one cat who prefers strongly to stay home. I am currently a geosciences graduate student, so I am only looking for a part-time position at this time. Thank you for understanding!

My daughter is autistic with special needs that include ARFID. Helena has been critical in making sure that she not only has someone that can speak to her on the same level but also has been able to help us with tips and tricks to mitigate the difficulties with feeding. It has made a huge difference in getting the necessary calories in. Helena is also an incredible teacher that my daughter can really connect with. She came with stim toys to help her concentrate and various boards to assist with communication on days that are non verbal. Not only that, but she's given me so much peace of mind going forward with teaching me ways to advocate for medical support and also connect with my daughter to give her agency. I'll always be grateful for the time we spent together. Not only was Helena our tutor, she was our friend, and has been wonderful with keeping in touch to help with the adjustment after we moved and really cares about our family on a personal level. Absolutely would recommend. Anyone would be lucky to get to work with her and her broad skill set.

Helena was the single best child care worker I've ever worked with, and I wish our time with her could have been longer. The girls adored her. She was responsible, caring, and fun! She was especially good at carrying out educational enhancements that kept both a 12 year old and an 8 year old enchanted all summer. She also brought a wide variety of practical skills - cooking and the like - to her job. Whoever hires her will be very lucky indeed
