Some days were harder than others. Sometimes the hardest part of the job is not getting attached to the cases that you are having to monitor, having to be a total by-standard in everything. Its hard to not feel bad for each case depending on what happened. Having to end a case visit because of the welfare of the child is hard because it can escalate and get messy. On the other hand of the job the most enjoyable part is when children are either reunited with their parents who went through everything and worked hard to get them back or seeing children go to amazing forever homes where they will get everything they need and more. the work place is always quiet as many cases are going on at the same time. Having this job has taught me so much about what honestly goes on in the world and in some homes and families. It has definitely taught me to not ignore the little things because it could be something bigger. management is always there to help if needed and can always be reached by phone or email.

The people that you work with are great. Good communication between office manager and staff. You need to be available different hours, things change on a daily basis from the schedule you receive on Sundays. You have to be able to adapt to change all the time, and be available to cover different transports.  The hardest part of the job is the kids and how sad it is when they have to leave their parents and go back to the foster home. Very SAD. The kids attach to the transporter very easy. Because we are there as an observer and to step in if there are safety issues, its hard to watch the parents and their parenting skills. 

The owner is the nicest lady to work for, she has a very big heart and is very amazing. This is a family ran business and  you can tell they pour their heart into the business and they care what happens to their employees and the people they work for. 

AS for job security it depends on the referrals from the Department of Social and Health Services, some weeks you might work 20 hours and some you can work up to 60 hours. NO benefits, and no advancement opportunity's. People usually stay long term.
