I worked as a direct support professional for almost 12 years, and I stayed in the field so long because of how rewarding it can be. While employed at a former agency, I received an employee award for fulfilling the lifelong dream of one of my individuals. At the last agency I was employed at, I received employee of the month less than a year into my employment there. I am very patient, caring, and kind. I understand the communication barrier that often comes with working with individuals with developmental disabilities. I am currently in graduate school for early childhood and early childhood special education.

    Amanda is a gem - sensible, professional, consistent and has a very optimistic attitude that inspires confidence. She follows through, makes good suggestions. I could not be more pleased - I have a teen age daughter with special needs who requires prompts and skill-building on a number of daily life activities - Amanda has done a really good job on days when I need to be away. I have peace of mind.
