- **Empathy and patience** - Genuine care for the well-being of participants, with the ability to listen and respond to their needs with kindness and understanding.
- **Strong communication skills** - Ability to communicate effectively with participants, families, and team members, fostering positive relationships.
- **Problem-solving abilities** - A proactive mindset, able to think on your feet and adapt to the changing needs of participants.
- **Resilience and emotional intelligence** - Capacity to handle challenging situations calmly, offering a steady and supportive presence.

These qualities, along with your commitment to empowering individuals and promoting independence, will make you a valuable member of our team.
