About Teirra

Hello, My name is Teirra Jones and I became a caregiver because I love working with people and being able to care for and help those who aren't able to care for themselves the way that they should. I started off caring for people at the age of 16 years old when I used to babysit for my aunt while she worked for 2 years and then when I turned 21 years old I applied for a DSP (Direct Support Professional) position at Little City Foundation where I was working with children with developmental disabilities. I absolutely loved everything that there was about working at Little City Foundation. I've learned so much and I've also gained allot of experience from working there.
