What’s a Respite Provider

You’ll step in and help care for a child, teen, or adult with a disability so their caregiver can take a break. Care can occur in the home or in the community; so you can do movie nights with a homebody or trips to the art museum with an adventurer! 

You might:

  • Hang out with someone who loves art, Minecraft, or sensory play

  • Help someone with basic needs like meals or getting dressed

  • Go on walks, do crafts, play games, or be a kind, supportive presence

  • Be trained in safety, support strategies, and communication techniques

Why You’ll Love This Job:

  • Flexible hours – evenings, weekends, you name it

  • $17 per hour 

  • Real-world experience for careers in healthcare, education, social work, or psychology

  • You’re making a difference in the lives of people with disability!

✅ What You Need:

  • Responsible attitude and a willingness to learn

  • Reliable transportation is a plus (bus line accessible opportunities)

Apply Now!

If you're compassionate, dependable, and want to provide dignified care to others,  we’d love to meet you.
