I have been providing care for people from all walks of life for past 12 years. Around the year of 2013 was when I really got in depth with field. I got offered a position a Direct Support Staff, where I actually got to assist mentally disabled adults with basic daily living activities to include: Toileting, bathing, medication intake, outdoor activities escorts to and from doctor appointments, assisting them in bed, reading stories. Anything the residents needed, i was there. It was such a delight. I would love the oppurtunity to do it all over again.
