I have my diploma in child and youth care and continuing my BA in the fall. I started babysitting a disabled boy when I was 13, became his personal support worker at 15 and worked with him until this past summer when I moved to BC. He can't talk or walk, we worked on puzzles, stories, memory cards, etc. Over the years he learned to wheel his own wheel chair and we practiced swiping skills on an iPad. I also worked in daycare for 5 years mostly in toddlers and preschool but spent time in all rooms. I did my 1st 8-month school placement at Moving Forward, a day program for adults with developmental disorders. After this I was hired for in home care with a client living with Jouberts Syndrome. I did my 2nd 8-month placement through Halton health care and divided my time between the adolescent psychiatric ward, outpatients and in a school program for clients who had been school avoidant due to behavioural issues and anxiety. I am new to BC and hoping to find work in my field,.
