Responsibilities

- Organizing and executing daily activities. - Creating weekly/monthly calendars. - Supporting the transportation program by attending outings. - Having fun activities scheduled and executed for residents and staff to enjoy.

Accomplishments

Growing my relationships with my residents. Getting to know the residents and their families really helps to make the whole experience so much more enjoyable. The more they get to know you, and you get to know them, the more special it becomes to spend time with them.

Learning experience

The first lesson I learned was that it's okay not to be perfect at something, especially if it's your first time. Not being perfect with everything makes things more fun and personable. It reminds residents, and even yourself, that you're human and bound to make mistakes here and there.

What advice would you give?

It's okay not to know exactly where you want to be in the future. Take all of the opportunities that you can find in order to get more experience within the field. Trying as much as you can now really helps you to visualize where you can actually see yourself in the future.
