    We’re looking for a compassionate, creative, and reliable support professional to join the team of a vibrant young woman who is eager to grow her independence and pursue her goals. This is more than just a job — it’s a chance to be a meaningful part of her journey as she explores friendships, volunteering, and her favorite community activities.

    Encourage skill-building and independence

    Support community engagement and social opportunities

    Collaborate on creative approaches to everyday challenges

    Be a consistent and encouraging presence

    What We’re Looking For

    At least 1 year as a caregiver, TSS, PCA, or in a similar role

    Strong teaching and coaching skills — you enjoy helping others learn and grow
