pros and cons?
I been in this field for a year and i truly love it 🫂.
from my kids to being a help it's a delight.
i'm just curious to know everyone's pros and cons about being an RBT & i would love to hear the BCBA's perspectives. well just anyone from aba haha
but i'll start 😅
PROS:
making a difference in any of my kids lives! showing up and giving the best care i could possibly give. the final product is so fulfilling seeing them get through difficult task or milestones they have been working on
i have a great work team this is the first job where there has been no drama or gossiping. just data and vibes 🧘🏽♀️🧘🏽♀️
As i mentioned i had no prior experience; so im learning constantly new things daily and i love it. every one of our kids in center is HILARIOUS. its just a joy to see their little faces and watching them grow into who they are going to be.
CONS:
burnout is reaaaaallllll especially having 3 kids a day and having no break 8am-6pm. when i come home i just want to hibernate and not talk to anyone. you have to ask for a break and half the time there's no coverage for one 🤣🤣.
parents sending kids in sick and knowing it. i'm talking temp over 100* and coughing. the whole clinic is about to be sick for the next month .
if you are sick or on the verge of death, you have to stay with your kiddo until the shift is done and if your second shift could be covered and can't just leave. 😭
