Searching for an energetic, caring individual to provide Respite for a child who is on the children's mental health waiver. Respite provides families a break from each other to reduce stress within the home.

Respite services are provided out of your own home. This typically occurs from Friday early evening around 5 pm to Sunday around 1 pm. You can sleep when the child sleeps as well! Providers get to be a fun, positive influence in kids' lives by spending time with them doing activities such as playing video games, going to parks, going on walks, getting ice cream, doing community activities, etc. Activities and how you spend time is up to you and the individual's family.
