About Esther

I'm applying for the caregiver position listed on your company's website. I believe I would be well suited for the position because of my caring heart and years of experience working in the mental health field. My background includes 10 years working with the Texas Department of Aging and Disability as a Qualified Mental Retardation Professional. My responsibilities during that time included working with the Interdisciplinary Team made up of professionals to advocate for my clients and insure all their needs were being met. I managed a case load of 36 clients by assessing their needs, creating service plans, monitoring, and providing crisis prevention. I meet with other professionals for monthly meetings to assess, develop and implement the clients' annual service plans. I enjoy the weekly traveled to conduct home visits and assess clients' needs. Along with working with clients I managed a department that included 21 staff members and supervised multiple programs. In addition to my work experience I have an educational background in Sociology and Social Work. I'm a certified Mental Health Professional and Certified Nursing Assistant. I also have years of Satori Alternatives to Managing Aggression training. I'm confident that my years of experience and education will make me a good fit for your company. Thank you for your consideration and I welcome the opportunity to arrange an interview with you soon. If you should have any questions please contact me at the information above.
