Abigail Tucker
@abigailtucker1
Caregiver and special education support professional with compassionate, patient-centered care and classroom experience.
What I'm looking for
I’m a motivated, compassionate professional blending caregiving with education and behavioral support. In caregiver roles, I provide ongoing, person-centered assistance for individuals with Rett Syndrome and dementia, focusing on safety, daily routines, and dignity.
I also bring classroom experience as a PE teacher substitute and as a special education instructional assistant/teacher (Pre-K through high school), adapting instruction to students’ diverse needs while maintaining a positive learning environment. With an academic foundation in psychology, leadership, biopsychology, and occupational therapy preparation, plus experience supporting youth through soccer coaching and early intervention, I’m driven by teamwork, communication, and adapting quickly in patient-centered settings.
