Pros
Families can be very nice, working with kids, tutoring or playing with crafts is always fun. You feel you are making a difference. Overall the idea of the company is good.
Cons
No benefits at all, you are required to drive everywhere plus the company does not reinburst for milages. Put into dangerous situations at times due to managers neglect to properly send families background history in timely manner so the employee can go in prepared/ deny request if not trained properly. They do not provide training in dealing with respite care individuals. I was put in a dangerous situation when my boss sent me uninformed to watch over a 22 year old who (by the way I have only had experience in the past working with kids 5-15 yrs old) who threatened me after getting caught making inappropriate sexual gestures towards one's self.
