Across all our provider opportunities, we are committed to providing you with:
- A strong, supportive team of professionals available 24/7
- Competitive stipends or per-diem reimbursements
- Training and resources to give you the tools you need to be a successful caregiverÂ
- A listening ear and guidance from a coordinator assigned to the case

You won’t be in this alone!
Become a Children's Mental Health Respite Provider
Our respite providers welcome a child into their home for planned or emergency respite. In doing this, you’re providing a safe and nurturing environment for a child experiencing emotional or behavioral challenges while giving the parents much-needed time to recharge.
Planned respite placements range from a half day to a weekend overnight stay at a time. Emergency respite placements are for up to three consecutive days.
Benefits for Providers
- Generous stipend offered for providing this service.
- Training is provided.
- 24-hour support is available while the child is in your care.
Respite providers should live in Montgomery County or the surrounding communities.
Become a Lifesharing Provider
A home to live and grow in
Lifesharing is a unique program that allows adults with intellectual disabilities to live with a provider and become a part of their lives and families.
Lifesharing providers open their homes, offer support and guidance to empower their individual to reach for and achieve their goals and aspirations. Short or long term Lifesharing opportunities are available.
Become a Foster Parent
Open your heart and home
Being a foster parent is a beautiful and difficult job. A job that will challenge you to see beyond the surface of trauma and neglect to see a child’s potential.
Becoming a foster parent is more than standing in the gap and providing a child or children with a safe, stable home for a time of family instability or longer. It is looking at the great number of children that need help and saying, “I can change that number, even if it is only one child.”
