On a daily basis, caring for placed children with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and significant psychological distress is complex. I write reports very regularly to inform the children's judge and the various partners involved about the evolution of the situation.

As part of the parenting support service, I am in contact with parents and trained in supervising visits in the presence of a third party. Between denial of their child's placement and caring for their own health (trauma, disability, psychiatric illness), support and listening are important aspects of my work.

After obtaining my pediatric nursing diploma, I worked temporary assignments in various facilities, both day and night.

This allowed me to understand different institutions and organizations (emergency departments, assisted living facilities, adult psychiatry, home care services, laboratories). I particularly enjoyed working with people with disabilities and the elderly, where I developed expertise in the specific needs of these populations.

All these elements enrich my perspective on my environment and the people within it. This experience made me very autonomous, and I learned to perform tasks efficiently.
