Hm, I don't think she does unfortunately. Do you know what kind of companies specialize in stuff like this though? I can always throw it her way and see if she'd be comfortable doing it.

Would something like this require certifications? I feel like it would.

If you type in “behavior technician” on indeed, they all come up. There is a certification but places will train and pay for it! It can be more about personalities matching than actual experience so she has a good shot.

Got it! I'll mention it to her as an option to look into. Never hurts especially since so many Indeed jobs are the "easy apply" type.

True. I had a friend who did this and had a kid scratch and bite her all the time

She's a LARPer, I'll tell her to buy some armor with her paycheck. ;p

It’s fucking frustrating and honestly shameful to me that a qualified person eager to work should have to consider whether compromising their physical safety is worth poverty wages

Yeah it really is. I don't look down on any jobs but to have like 10yrs of various work experience (both retail and corporate) and being told that isn't enough is actually insane to me.
