emergency and car safety kits, staff supplies)
- Research and propose future experiences aligned to the participant's interests (art, diamond art, Stitch), submitting ideas to management in advance
- Complete accurate, timely documentation, shift notes, and reporting
- Engage in the participant's artistic hobbies and assist with daily grooming, including braiding long dark hair
- Work autonomously while maintaining regular contact with your Team Leader
