Experience

I have volunteered for at risk youths in which I coordinated outings with youth to help in confidene and support newwork-building.  Built ongoing relationships with family members and serviced as a liaison for CCT. Provided mentoring on overcoming obstacles, societal pressures, and decision making.  Supporte when necessary at the school or with those in the medical field.  
I worked with those having developmental/mental disabilities from 1998 to 2003.  I assessed individuals and provided plans to families, provided a breakdown of responsibilities into manageable components, monitored, and documented progress along with demonstrating life skills.  
I have children ages 25, 24, 23, and 17, so I have a lot of experience juggling children and attending the needs of each one.
