- I was responsible for taking care of people with intellectual disabilities such as Down Syndrome, Autism, Angelman Syndrome, Schizophrenia, ETC. During my time at People Inc., my primary job as the day aide was to run all appointments for the individuals. I was responsible for passing medications and worked side by side with the site nurse, pharmacy, and doctors to make sure that all the needs of the individuals were met. I ordered all of the site medications for the 6 individuals in the house. I made certain that all paper scripts, medication blister packs and medication administration record matched monthly so that any corrections can be made.
