Hi, I’m Julia, a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and the founder of NeuroNest. I’ve been working in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) since 2011, supporting neurodivergent children and their families in home, school, and clinical settings. Over the years, I’ve served as a Teacher’s Assistant, Behavior Technician, Program Manager, and now a BCBA, certified since 2018.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with people of all ages, but my passion is in creating nurturing, individualized care that puts the child first. I specialize in Natural Environment Teaching (NET) and strongly support assent-based practices, where a child’s comfort, autonomy, and voice are always prioritized.

NeuroNest was also inspired by my experience as a mom. Parenting has deepened my understanding of what families truly need, not just skilled care, but care they can trust, provided by people who genuinely see and honor their child. That personal perspective fuels every part of this business and the standards I hold for the sitters who join our nest.

NeuroNest was founded on the belief that every child deserves care that’s not only effective but also compassionate, respectful, and tailored to their unique needs. I’m here to help families and caregivers build a safe, dependable network of sitters and helpers who genuinely understand neurodivergence and are trained to provide care with intention.

Here, we meet families where they are and walk alongside them.
