The Case Aide will provide transportation for program participants to various appointments such as counseling, medical and home visits, provide supervision and assess the interactions between children and other parties involved in visits, model/teach appropriate parenting skills and the use of non-physical discipline with family members, and complete comprehensive case notes documenting any interactions with children and program participants.
