Work Experience
Behavioral Health Technician
Cape community counseling center - Cape Girardeau, MO April 2022 to February 2023
I work in a small residential home that the company runs. I am one of about 8 staff members in the 4 bed facility. I am there to teach the clients how to live on their own once they graduate the program such as, gaining employment, paying bills, cooking, cleaning, generally maintaining a home in general on a day to day basis again once they are out of the program. The reason I'm applying for a new job so soon is that I need to be on a day or evening shift for health reasons and due to company policy I can't be moved to a different shift.
Direct Support Professional
SADI Semo Allaince for Diasability independence - Cape Girardeau, MO February 2014 to October 2017
I went into clients homes and helped them with daily needs. I did things such as cooking, cleaning, running errands, making sure they took their meds, bathing, but most of all I was another person for them to have in their lives for support. I tried to keep my clients as happy as I could and help them in any way I could. Education

Additional Information
I acquired all of these certifications at my current job, I've had all of these in prior jobs as well. The most recent gap in employment is because I had the means to move in with my oldest son and help him with my youngest grandson because he and his two brothers are all under the age of four. They needed some help to cope with that many little ones at once and also an autistic child as well. We agreed on a year and my year was just up a little while ago so, that's what happened and I wanted to explain. The other gaps in employment are from having babies or being married and being able to be a stay at home mom. All of boys are grown now so, I'm looking for a change of pace and new way of helping others, which I love. Any further information needed please just ask and I'll provide it. Thank you for taking your time to read this, I sincerely appreciate it.
