It was nice learning how to be a teaching parent who loves unconditionally. This job helped me to understand children and their needs, along with the need for structure in the home.
What I wish was different
It was a very stressful job, I wish management trained a little more or warned me of possible danger situations.
Advice
I would advise not to attempt to be a family teacher with kids. It was high stress and I felt my child was unsafe in some circumstances that arose. I would advise anyone interested in this job to not take things personal and make sure to manage your own emotions.

Behavior specialist

What I liked
I enjoyed helping youth who struggled with behavior challenges in their homes and at school. I also worked with court cases where youth commit crimes. I enjoyed learning about why youth went down the path they did and trying to help them overcome obstacles in their lives.
What I wish was different
I wish it would have been more consistent with time. Appointments were often rescheduled or canceled which made it difficult with my young son and my babysitter.
Advice
I would share that youth have so much potential to overcome the challenges they struggle with. Everyone needs someone to believe in them.
