These challenges can include; lashing out, hitting, kicking, screaming, spitting, self-harm, talking aggressively, urinating in bed, incontinence assistance, stealing, lying, trying to flee, outbursts of emotions, public displays and tantrums. Our ladies are high functioning, each of them in different ways. They are very smart clients and can manipulate any situation. You must be able to handle the mental aspect of working with clients at this disability level. This job may be easy physically but can be mentally taxing and requires patience and does not require any certifications/schooling to start. However, you MUST be able to work well with other employees and communicate the shift and needs of clients as a team. You must be able to conduct yourself professionally, and appropriately.

We are a small company, and we do our best to hire great staff and work on any issues that may arise. However, we do not have an HR department, and issues will be resolved as admin sees fit. Creating a hostile environment among co-workers and clients will not be tolerated. No exceptions. We are located in the city of Adelanto, off of HWY 395, between Cactus ST. and Bellflower ST.
