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 compassionate, reliable, and confident Teen Respite Provider to support a teenager who experiences emotional regulation challenges and occasional aggressive behaviors. The ideal candidate will have experience using de-escalation strategies, trauma-informed care approaches, and maintaining a calm, supportive presence during heightened emotional situations. We are looking for someone dependable, emotionally mature, and confident to support teens with complex behavioral and emotional needs while building a positive, trusting relationship. If this sounds like you, we'd love to connect!
