Summary
I am a caring and compassionate Youth Care Worker with almost 10 years of experience mentoring and working with at risk youth (mainly youth with Autism, FASD and Down Syndrome). I am diligent in supervising youth activities wether they be in the home or out in the community. I am experienced with creating safe and supportive environments for youth to excell in despite sensory challenges they may have. I am reliable, a hard worker and a quick learner and would love the opportunity to come and work for Karis Disability Services.
