About Ria

Hi there! My name is Ria, and I'm a certified behavior technician with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Child Development from Florida State University. I currently work as a behavioral therapist for children with autism and other developmental differences, and I'm applying to graduate school to become a licensed psychotherapist specializing in children and young adults. I've been babysitting since I was 12 and have cared for kids ages 1-12, including those with ADHD, ASD, and ODD, as well as neurotypical children. I love creating a fun, nurturing, and structured environment, whether we're doing arts and crafts, playing outside, or exploring what interests them most. Outside of work, I enjoy nature walks, traveling, photography, and time with my miniature Goldendoodle. I've been dog sitting and walking since I was 8, and I take pride in offering compassionate, reliable care grounded in professionalism and integrity.
