Advice for someone starting in the field
The work we do can be tough at times but is extremely rewarding. As with any new job, there is a bit of a learning curve so don’t get discouraged, keep moving forward and just take things one day at a time. You will get to see the changes you make in the lives of the children you work with and their families and it is a wonderful feeling!
