Hi! I'm a caring and dedicated Direct Support Professional with years of experience working with children with developmental disabilities. I'm passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment where every child feels valued and included. I've been featured in a magazine for my work and training programs for adults with developmental disabilities, focusing on community integration. I'm honored to have been nominated for and awarded the All-Star DSP Award by the Stark County Board of Developmental Disabilities. I currently work as a Lead DSP at a mental health respite care facility serving children ages 5 and up, where I provide support, guidance, and individualized care. I'm dependable, patient, compassionate, and committed to treating every child with respect and kindness. I take great pride in the work I do and would love the opportunity to support your family with your child/ senior care needs! I'm gald to answer any questions and provide references.
He has been such a great help on our family. Our kids love him! they can be a little too much and energetic but he is always kind and patient. They will always ask when will he come back to play. Zack is a very special care giver. He actually loves to play, direct and guide our little ones no just sit there to watch, he creates fun and enrichment activities and participates in them with them, which makes his company so special for the kids. He works full time with special needs and under the system kids as well and we have so much respect for him, speaks so highly of him and we have seen by ourselves how great of a person he is. We deeply trust and love him! Our family is so grateful
