Hello, I'm Shawana

Direct Support Professional

I am Compassionate, Dedicated and Empowering

 Hi, my name is Shawana. I am experienced working with adults who have IDDs and special needs. Also with children through homeschooling and church volunteering. Through both my professional and personal life, I’ve developed a patient, calm, and understanding approach when supporting individuals with different abilities and needs.

I enjoy creating structured but relaxed environments where children feel safe and comfortable being themselves. I’m very playful and fun, but I also value consistency and routine, especially for neurodivergent children who thrive with predictability. I understand the importance of meeting each child where they are and supporting them in ways that respect their unique personality and pace.

I believe in open communication with parents and being a steady, dependable presence in a child’s life.
