Pros
You work with some wonderful families and individuals, and it’s very valuable as a first job in teaching you how to manage your own schedule and adapt to tough situations.
Cons
Minimal, if any, training because you learn almost everything in the moment as it’s happening. Services for individuals varies widely because everyone is trained differently/learns from whoever they’ve shadowed so almost no one is on the same page. Grossly underpays their staff for the amount of care, effort, and work that goes into working in this field.
