Tamia D.

With a strong background in early childhood education and behavioral therapy, I bring a compassionate and structured approach to childcare. As a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) at Life Skills Autism Academy, I have extensive experience working with children on the autism spectrum, utilizing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to foster skill acquisition and behavioral improvement. Additionally, I serve as a Paraprofessional in a SPED classroom (RISE Program), where I support children with low cognitive development and high behavioral needs, ensuring individualized and inclusive learning environments.

My experience extends beyond therapy into early childhood education, having worked as a Head Preschool Teacher and Full-Time Nanny. I specialize in positive discipline, lesson planning, and cognitive development, incorporating Montessori-inspired activities to engage young learners. My goal is to create a nurturing and stimulating space where children feel supported, empowered, and excited to learn.
