Compassionate Direct Support Professional dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Direct Support Professional with extensive experience in providing care and support to individuals with mental and physical disabilities. My journey began at Family Dollar, where I quickly advanced to Assistant Manager due to my reliability and leadership skills. This foundation in customer service has been invaluable in my subsequent roles, where I have honed my ability to adapt to the unique needs of each client.
Throughout my career, I have worked in various settings, including group homes and residential care, where I provided total care and behavior support. My commitment to my clients is evident in my proactive communication with their families and my ability to monitor and respond to their needs effectively. I am currently enhancing my skills through Registered Behavior Technician training, which reflects my dedication to professional growth and excellence in caregiving.
