Helena’s Bio
I'm an experienced caregiver with a focus on developmentally disabled individuals. I spent two years working in a school exclusively for high support needs DD students up to age 21, which included learning how to safely diffuse situations and inhibit dangerous behaviors, as well as multiple nannying positions with Autistic children. I'm also familiar with some common medical complications, such as feeding tubes. Myself, my husband, and my daughter are all diagnosed as Autistic, and I think it gives me a unique level of understanding of what high support need individuals experience on a daily basis.

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
