Leslie Heaton

Dedicated Direct Support Professional with extensive experience at Bost, Inc., excelling in client support and medication management. Skilled in time management and behavior redirection, I empower individuals with disabilities to achieve greater independence through engaging activities and personalized assistance. Committed to enhancing wellbeing and fostering a supportive environment.

I am a retired LPN who has worked in a variety of health related positions over the past 25 years but my favorite position is working with those with disabilities. I began working as a DSP in 2015 for Independent Living and was with them for about a year and a half. I took some time off and worked as a PCA for Area Agency on Aging until 06/2019. due to a move and needing to get things accomplished I took off work until March 2022 when I returned to work for Independent Living again. I was the weekend shift supervisor at the same place I now do nights. I was in that position for about a year and a half then transferred to the community to help with a client who was total care and required a great deal more time and care than most of the staff were able to provide. I worked for that client about 8 months then left Independent Living in April of 2024. At that time I had already picked up 2 additional jobs. I was working for the United Cerebral Palsy Agency and Pentacle In Home Care. I continued both jobs until I was hired at Bost in April 2024. My hope is to find a job that i can enjoy and not need to work 105 hours a week to make a good living one day.

I am CPR/First aid certified by the American Heart Association.
