This is a heartwarming opportunity for compassionate providers who love making a difference! We work with members throughout Wisconsin to find providers that fit each of their needs. Our goal is to help individuals be in more control of their own supports and to have a say in who is assisting them. This helps them to stay in their own homes as long as possible.


We are seeking a kind, patient, and reliable respite provider to spend time with a sweet and lovable child in their home. This role is designed to give the primary caregivers a short break while ensuring the child feels safe, supported, and engaged. The ideal candidate will enjoy working with children, building positive relationships, and encouraging independence in a safe and supportive environment while giving mom a well-deserved break. Care will take place primarily in the child's home with some community outings, such as parks or walks.
