With a solid foundation in direct care work, specializing in supporting teenagers and young adults with autism, I bring two years of hands-on experience to the table. My primary focus is fostering independence, dignity, and holistic well-being for my clients, ensuring their social, emotional, and cultural needs are met with empathy and understanding.

SKILLS:

- A valuable team player known for outstanding interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills.

- Proficient in conflict resolution and equipped with crisis management expertise.

- Tech-savvy with a sound understanding of Microsoft Office and various online applications.

In my recent role as a Direct Care Worker from 2021 to 2022, I excelled at maintaining detailed records of client care while offering daily progress reports. I actively engaged residents in setting and reaching personalized goals, utilizing my crisis intervention training to de-escalate conflicts effectively. Building positive relationships with clients and assisting in personal care tasks were integral parts of my responsibilities, ensuring the well-being and safety of individuals with diverse needs.

During my tenure in the same position from 2021 to 2023, I continued to demonstrate my dedication by documenting patient care and progress meticulously.
