About Elizabeth

Hi everybody, I have a BA in Psychology and Sociology. I am a compassionate and dependable person with experience supporting children and adolescents in educational and behavioral settings. Through my work as a paraprofessional and experience with special education and juvenile youth, I have developed strong skills in communication, patience, emotional support, and individualized care. I am passionate about creating safe, engaging, and supportive environments where children with disabilities can thrive. I would love to see if I can be a fit for your family!
