🌻 Client Bio:
Hi! I’m looking for a caring, dependable DSP who is patient, calm, and confident supporting me day to day. I do best with someone who can stay grounded, consistent, and help keep me safe, especially during challenging moments.
Sometimes I can have big behaviors, including physical aggression, self-harm, property destruction, and elopement, so I need someone who can stay aware of their surroundings and support me closely. I also need help with toileting and elimination, including assistance getting seated on the toilet.
I can be rough with animals and don’t always understand their warning signs, so I need someone who can guide me and help keep both me and animals safe.
On the fun side — I’m a total goofball 🙂 I love dinosaurs, helicopters, trains, taking toys apart, and being outside. I enjoy being active and playful, and I do best with someone who can match my energy while also providing structure and support.
If you’re patient, positive, and able to stay steady while helping me navigate my day, we’ll be a great fit.
