She thrives with nurturing care, clear routines, and lots of positive reinforcement and redirection.
Driving is strongly preferred but not required.
About the Client

Has a G-tube (training provided by our nursing team), though she can eat on her own.
Needs assistance with diaper changes and is working toward toilet training.

Responsibilities
Provide 1:1 support focused solely on the client.
Assist with meals, including G-tube feeding (training provided).
Ensure safety during transitions and outdoor activities.
Collaborate with family to maintain consistency and care strategies.
