Throughout high school I would watch the neighborhood kids, I grew up doing it sometimes even for free!! I graduated in 2016 in general studies. I also went to Wilkes-Barre area vo-tech for medical assisting that is where I got my residential adult license also known as a PCA. I am also certified up-to-date on First Aide and CPR, OSHA certified, lastly got an outstanding academic achievement award. After graduation I started working in an assisted living facility for Alzheimer's and dementia patients attending to all of their ADLs. That is where I learned to deal with behaviors, impatience from others and definement and how to cope with it and maintain a redirection for the elderly with calming them down. After three years I decided to become a direct support professional working with the intellectual. There as well I dealt with behaviors, violence, and ignorance but I had to cope Read more with it the same way I would with the elderly, unfortunately it was sad because our girls were a lot younger from going to 80s to in their 20s as well to attending to almost all their ADLs cooking for them and cleaning their house so there is a lot more work. All that mostly has to be done for a child. Overall I loved my jobs and helping and caring for those who need it!!
