Hi- My name is Nicole and I have worked with children in various settings for approximately 15 years. I began working in a daycare located in Powhatan, Virginia where I continued to work over the course of 10 years seasonally and throughout my many changes in life. While in college at Old Dominion University, I had the pleasure of working at St. Mary's Home for Disabled Children located in Norfolk, Va. During my 3 years working in the facility, I learned a vast amount regarding individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I am a trained Direct Support Professional with experience in medication administration, g-tubes, and seizure protocols. More recently, I have transitioned to group home settings where I have provided behavior support for adolescents with mental health diagnoses. I learned a great deal of patience and understanding for those that battle such diseases daily. Currently, I work as a Case Manager for a work release program.
