Respite Provider
About The Position
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 Respite Provider to provide respite for siblings (an 11-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl), focusing on supervision and emotional regulation, while having fun. This gives parents some temporary relief to rest, refresh, and recharge! The girl likes arts and crafts, card games, gymnastics, dance, and music. The boy likes video games, Nintendo, Minecraft, making board games, graphic novels, and soccer. Respite care for the children will be in their home. Community Outing is encouraged.
