Great staff members and flexability
Family Consultant (Former Employee), West Palm Beach, FL – May 8, 2013
Pros: working with children and their families
Cons: long workdays and lots of travel
I had on average a caseload of seven families at a time, that I worked with for 10-12 weeks. I spent my morning working with the children in school to support them behaviorally and academically. I then spent my afternoon and sometimes evening hours making home visits with the families. I taught the parents positive parenting strategies to help support – more... and encourage their children. The hardest part of the job was the paper work and reporting, which was was completed for every encounter with the child and family. The most enjoyable part of the job was connecting with the children and their familes. – less

you have to love what you do, because it is hard work. The kids you work with are challenging, but the rewards are great for the effort you put in.

Family visitation Specialist (Former Employee), Boystown, NE – January 16, 2013
A typical day would be managing your work load and getting family to understand the way the law works with families. I learned that most of these family that we helped never been thought how to parent or never had parents around so their action is not there mistake.

Challenging work environment
Assistant Family Teacher (Former Employee), Omaha, NE – June 20, 2012
I worked during the week and worked every other weekend from Friday at 3pm to Sunday at 10pm. It was a very demanding job and took it's toll on me. But on the other hand, it was rewarding to work with the girls in our house. I learned a lot that year.
