I have been in the social service field for over 20 years. I was also was a preschool teacher, but went back to my first love, working with people with disabilities. I worked in a residential home with girls with severe disabilities, then did respite care for a few years and loved it all. I was a job coach helping people with their jobs. For 18 years I was a job counselor working part-time. I found jobs for people with disabilities and I helped run a training program at a hotel where we taught people work and job skills. Unfortunately due to management I was forced to work different hours and location and I could not do it because of my family and I had to give up a great job. After that, I was a transition aid for a young man with autism, tutored a boy with a terminal illness, and took care of a lovely elderly woman who called me her angel. These jobs were so special to me. I decided to go back to work doing what I loved Now I work as a vocational specialist at a social service agency

    We have been so incredibly lucky to have Connie as part of our care team. She has been reliable, responsible, and very kind in the care of our son with autism. She is professional, knowledgeable, and keeps my son very busy. We could not ask for a better caregiver for our son! Highly recommended!
