Arc Broward

One on one caregiver

June - August 2019 • Sunrise, FL

What I liked

I loved working under the supervision of behavioral Psychologists, including Board Certified Behavior Analysts. They would help us learn how to intereact with children with autism in order to keep them happy and calm. I worked one on one with an 11 year old boy with autism. The experience was incredibly challenging but so rewarding. I bonded so much is such a short amount of time with ym coworkers in the same classroom. I have a lifetime relationship with them now and it created an opportunity of networking. The pay was amazing as well.

What I wish was different

I wish that our supervisor was a little more understanding. It was a little difficult to approach her.

Advice

This job is not easy, you will e sent to their clinic from bites or scrathces, but we are trained to handle this. I never worked with children with disabilities before but now I know I am capable of more than I think Iam. Getting out of your comfort zone is very worth it.
