“My name is Amy Sweeney and I’m a Family Support Worker in the Midwest.

I love my job. Supporting children with disabilities was always something I wanted to do.

I support families who have children with disabilities, in their home setting.

I take care of all the children’s needs throughout the day. We get out and about in the community, we go for walks. There is always lots of entertainment, music, dancing and fun.

The support I provide means a lot to the family. They can take a break, or do some work around the house. They can spend some time with their other children.

In Enable Ireland, there is a strong sense of teamwork and working together. The staff are very approachable, and I know I could talk to someone if I had a concern and I would be listened to.

The support from Enable Ireland is great. I feel I am a valued member of the team. They say that when you love your job, you’ll never work a day in your life, and I feel like that about my job.
