Another possibility is doing some sort of respite care, they call it different things in different states. In Wisconsin I was a respite care provider for United Cerebral Palsy and I was able to work with people with autism, downs syndrome, and cerebral palsy of all different ages. I now am in North Carolina and I am a habilitation technician for A Small Miracle where I work with people with disabilities. I think it is a great opportunity to work with different populations and unlike CNA work you do not need to be certified. I also worked as a CNA and I think that is good experience as well.
