I have had experience living in a community with adults with special needs in a L’Arche community; where I enhanced my care taking skills, strengthening my compassion, empathy and interest in supporting vulnerable individuals. I have a personal support worker diploma and gained experience working with the elderly community in long term care settings, as well as in their homes. I currently work as a DSW in a community for adults with special needs. I am interested in respite work, specifically with children, young adults.
