Responsibilities can vary, and may include such duties as grooming, bathing, feeding, observing and reporting individual’s conditions and behaviors, providing meaningful interactions with individuals, and participating in individualized training and/or active treatment programs for both males and females. I document information on the person’s life, such as things that occur throughout their daily schedule, how they respond to activities on the home, training, and unusual incidents.
