Respite Companion | Part-Time + Flexible

Make a difference. Have fun. Build a connection that matters. ❤️

Mission Respite is looking for dependable, compassionate individuals who want a flexible, rewarding job making a meaningful difference in the life of a child with special needs.

As a Respite Companion, you’ll be matched with one of our Incredible Kids based on shared interests, personality, location, and availability. You’ll spend time together at home or out in the community doing things you both enjoy—all while giving their parent or primary caregiver a much-needed break from the demands of caregiving.

This isn’t just a job. It’s an opportunity to become someone an Incredible Kid looks forward to seeing.

What could your day look like?

Every match is different! You might spend your time:

• Getting outside and being active
• Swimming or heading to the park
• Baking or cooking together
• Doing crafts or creative projects
• Thrifting or exploring the community
• Playing games
• Reading or helping with learning activities
• Simply hanging out and building a genuine friendship

No two Incredible Kids are the same, which is why we focus on finding the right match for you.
