Sapinder Kaur is a Direct Support Professional (DSP) who appreciates the challenging yet rewarding nature of the role. Recommended by her cousin, a fellow DSP, Sapinder transitioned from a career as a medical assistant, bringing valuable experience to her current position.
“In both fields we have to face medical challenges,” she notes, highlighting the critical skills she exercises daily.
Her typical day is a dynamic mix of support and care.
Her day-to-day tasks are wide ranging, ensuring comfort to enriching activities like drawing and day trips.
“We do arts and crafts and art class; we go out to lunch,” she shares, recalling some of her daily responsibilities.
One of her favorite experiences is taking the people she supports to art class at Wheatley Farms and Art Center. “There’s fresh air around that area. It’s good for them, taking a trip and enjoying that environment,” she says, highlighting the importance of fresh experiences in the lives of those she supports.
Reflecting on her career choice, Sapinder shares insights on the role. “I think it’s good to come here and get the experience with them. You will learn a lot in this field. It’s everything; some people have different lifestyles than you, and seeing that, living it every day, it’s eye-opening.”
After a fulfilling workday, Sapinder enjoys the simple pleasures of family time, cooking, and relaxation at home.
