- Facilitate medical appointments, prepare nutritious meals, and assist with feeding (if necessary).
- Maintain supervision, complete required documentation, and follow state regulations.
This is a unique, rewarding opportunity to build a meaningful relationship while making your home a safe and supportive place for someone to grow and thrive.
As an independently contracted Lifesharing provider, you must have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
Qualified candidates for these independent contractor opportunities must:
- Be at least 21 years of age
- Possess a valid driver’s license and have reliable transportation
