<p>Here's why Geraldine decided to become a behavior aide, what she enjoys most about working with the Cross Country Education team and schools, and what advice she has for behavior aides just starting their careers.</p>
<h2>Geraldine E. – Behavior Aide</h2>
<h3>Why did you become a Behavior Aide?</h3>
<p>I always liked working in the education field and realized I was good at working with students who have behavior disorders or emotional dysregulation. I really enjoy what I do. Work is always different, and it brings me a lot of pride and joy knowing that I am helping a student better themselves to be more successful in the classroom and in their education. </p>
<h3>What do you like about Cross Country Education?</h3>
<p>I’ve only been with the company for about a month, but so far I like the flexibility and support that I get if I have any questions or concerns. </p>
<h3>What have you liked about your experience working at schools with Cross Country Education?</h3>
<p>The two schools I’ve worked at have been great. I love how much they support and engage with students, the inclusivity and administration, who are so kind and helpful; it’s been a good environment to be in all around. </p>
<h3>What advice would you give to those starting out in your field?</h3>
<p>The advice I would give is to get into the field if you enjoy working with kids. The field can be difficult starting off, but if you enjoy being around kids, it’s definitely a motivator. Also learn everything you can, you’re never too experienced, and we’re always learning new things. I luckily have had good educators to learn from throughout the years who weren’t afraid to tell me what I was doing wrong and what I should do instead. With that being said be okay with taking criticism. Lastly, have lots of patience and don’t be so hard on yourself. </p>
