From 2021 to mid-2024, I worked as a babysitter caring for two neurodivergent children, a 10-year-old with ADHD and Oppositional Defiance Disorder and a 4-year-old with Autism, ADHD, and Oppositional Defiance Disorder. My role required patience, adaptability, and a deep understanding of their unique needs, from managing emotional regulation and sensory sensitivities to creating structured yet flexible routines. I developed strategies to de-escalate conflicts, encourage positive behavior, and provide a safe, supportive environment where they could thrive. This experience strengthened my ability to navigate high-energy, emotionally intense situations with compassion and resilience.
