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're looking for an engaging, reliable, and compassionate Respite Provider to support a bright and energetic child who loves to learn, create, and explore! This position starts by working alongside Mom in the home to build a positive relationship and will progress to independent respite time, during which Mom can take breaks outside the home.

• Be active and hands-on - think soccer, Pokémon GO adventures, rock collecting, tinkering, and imaginative play.

• Support the child's independence and emotional regulation in a calm, structured way.

• Work with mom closely to learn child's routine and regulation styles, developing into independent care slowly giving mom valuable respite time


About the Child

• Loves spinning flags, soccer, tinkering, building things, Pokémon, Lucas the Spider, Bluey, and Spider-Man

• May need gentle support or redirection during transitions or when preferred activities end

• Can sometimes wander off when distracted, so awareness and safety attentiveness are vital


What We're Looking For

• Calm under pressure and compassionate in all interactions

• Pet friendly


Qualifications
