Residential Support Staff
November 2018 • Allendale, MI
What I liked
I loved getting to know the residents and really connecting with them. That's one of the great things about doing direct care - you're with the residents constantly and are really able to see their progress.
What I wish was different
The available shifts can be inconvenient for college students, but if you only have morning or afternoon classes it can work out pretty well.
