Teaching Family Homes of Upper Michigan

Direct Care Worker

March 2017 - August 2019 • Marquette, MI

What I liked

Working with the youth and getting such great training that will apply to the work environment as well as to outside jobs that I will have in the future.

What I wish was different

I wish that management would have taken into consideration the feelings/opinions of the direct care workers and what worked best for us, considering we were the ones with the youth all the time and knew them best.

Advice

I would say to anyone considering this job, it isn't for everyone. So if you're just looking for a paycheck, go elsewhere. No one stays at this job unless they truly care about the kids.
