About Christian Itigwe:

I am a highly dedicated and reliable Youth Worker with a strong record of young people healthcare experience and a strong attention to detail. My ability to multitask allows me to address a wide range of young persons concerns with courtesy and professionalism.

I am a thorough professional always willing to problem solve in situations that require me to think on my feet or when working in a team. Skilled at handling difficult and tense interpersonal situations allows me to address client behaviors efficiently and safely.

I understand the importance of supporting young people with disability to be more independent in their daily lives I have good interpersonal skills and clients feel comfortable with me, especially when I need to assist them with personal hygiene. My passion when working with young people is to support growth, development, independence, and autonomy.

I am a fluent English speaker with strong verbal and written communication skills and attentive skills.
