I implement programs in an aba style from my supervisor in home to clients who have specific disabilities. I work as part of a collaborative team to address the changing needs of clients and their families. I documented different behavioral aspects of clients as well as documenting the day to day success of each program given. I am in constant contact with the family of my client as well as my direct supervisor.

As an assistant teacher in the toddler room (1-3 year old children), I would keep children under close supervision and provide a caring and loving environment for them. I assist in meal and snack time, nap time, toileting time, and play time. I provide a safe and clean atmosphere as well as encourage integrated play between children.

As a paraprofessional, I provide staff support in an educational environment. Specifically, I work in an ABA style classroom. In this role, I work with students with Autism Spectrum Disorder one on one or in small groups. I help the students by assisting and guiding them to reinforce reading, language arts, mathematics and other skills which are assigned by the teachers' direction. I assist students in behavior management and deescalation to ensure optimal learning opportunities. I document my students' behavior to track progress and alert my supervisor with any changes.

As a Veterinarian Assistant I would assist the Veterinary Technicians however they needed. I would check patients into rooms and get a brief history and report back to the Doctor. I would assist the Doctor with whatever they needed as well.

As a CHHA at Bentley Assisted living, I would help residents complete daily tasks. I provided light housekeeping and laundry tasks for residents as well as acting quickly and responsibly in case of emergencies. I would monitor residents for safety and help bathe and get them ready for the day. I provide assistance in the feeding, toileting, dressing, grooming and other day to day activities. I promoted independence for the residents and helped when needed.

As a Dining Service Assistant, I would wait on tables, bus tables, wash dishes, clean the kitchen regularly and prepare for each meal. I monitored the dining area and provided attentive service to residents.
