Their responsibilities include assisting residents with daily living activities, monitoring their well-being, administering medication, and ensuring a safe and supportive environment.

Strong interpersonal skills, cultural sensitivity, and resilience are crucial for building trust and effectively supporting families in crisis. These abilities are vital for ensuring child safety, navigating complex family dynamics, and meeting legal and ethical responsibilities in child welfare services.
