Being a support worker is very rewarding but also hard and challenging at times. Support workers need to be able to understand that not every day is going to be sunshine and smiles. Being able to watch and support the individuals makes those hard days a lot easier. Seeing people be able to live independently and thrive in life is a reward in itself. No two days are the same; you will face and overcome many challenges, but the rewards are priceless.
