I w ork at Childrens P rotective Services (CPS) here in W arm Springs as a CPS Assistant. I started in May 2005 as a protective care provider in the CPS Center, and eventually transitioned to the administration side as th e CPS r e c e p tio n is t in March 2006. I worked as the reception ist until approximately Sep tem ber 2006, at which time I decided to take time o ff for my new baby and family. I was recently offered employ m ent as the assistant in April 2008. My job consists o f work ing closely with the children in CPS custody. I assist with transports to doctor appoint m ents, treatm ent facihties, supervise visits, complete cE- ent clothing/grocery shop ping, and I do in-hom e ser vices with famiEes that are on m onitor status. This means I provide inform ation to the p arents in th eir hom e on parenting. T he services I provide to our famiEes are to e n su re p a re n ts have th e skiUs, and can prove they are meeting the children’s basic needs. I also work closely with the CPS speciaEsts in provid ing administration assistance with all the paperwork, such as completing cEent monthly reports, cEent service plans, in home service reports, weekly reports, and other filings. My job is a continuing growing field, and is an op portunity for m e to get to know my com m unity, the people on a professional and personal note., to ensure the famiEes are getting services from CPS, and for the par e n ts to w o rk to w ard s o r) maintaining custody o f their children.
