About Christie

As a military spouse and mom working as a teacher for special needs children, my patience and adaptability are essential traits that help me excel as a caregiver. Navigating the unique challenges that come with military life has honed my ability to remain composed and flexible, vital qualities in supporting both my family and students with special needs. The desire to make a positive impact and provide a nurturing environment for these children initially drew me to caregiving. I find immense joy in witnessing their growth and progress, celebrating each milestone achieved. A personal achievement I'm particularly proud of is successfully juggling the demands of being a military spouse, a mother, and a dedicated special needs teacher, all while maintaining a compassionate and empathetic approach in my caregiving roles.

In my role as a severe to profound special education caretaker, I am dedicated to providing individualized and attentive care to those with significant disabilities. I work closely with each individual, crafting personalized education plans to address their unique needs and adapting instructional methods to suit their abilities. Daily, I assist with crucial activities like feeding, toileting, and aiding in mobility. I focus on nurturing their communication skills, implementing behavior management strategies, and offering emotional support. Collaborating with a team of professionals, I monitor their progress and ensure a safe and inclusive environment. My ultimate aim is to improve their quality of life and support them in reaching their fullest potential, despite the challenges they face.
