An adventurous and loving family is looking for a compassionate and reliable Caregiver to support their vibrant teenage daughter with cerebral palsy. She has a bold spirit, a deep love for the outdoors, and a curiosity for new experiences. For someone who is nonverbal, she is eager to make genuine connections with others. As she grows, her family is eager to help her explore real-life adventures—wandering the charming small towns along Lake Michigan, feeling the warmth of the sun on the shore, and embracing the beauty of new places and people.
This full-time role is typically Monday through Friday 2:00PM to 10:00PM with additional hours in the summer and on weekends.
The Companion Caregiver Position
The Caregiver acts as a true companion who shares a similar passion for adventure, meaningful connections, and creating unforgettable experiences. The family hopes to find someone to nurture their daughter’s sense of wonder, engage with her in new experiences, and bring both patience and enthusiasm into each day.
The Caregiver fosters a warm, structured, and nurturing environment that encourages personal development, emotional well-being, and a sense of adventure. More than just providing care, this role is about fostering independence, building a genuine bond, and being a steady, encouraging presence as their daughter embraces life experiences with joy and confidence.
Key responsibilities include providing companionship and engaging in activities that promote social interaction, creativity, and personal growth. This also involves encouraging and assisting with communication skills to foster independence, confidence, and meaningful connections in daily interactions. Additionally, the role includes planning and participating in outdoor and age-appropriate activities that align with the family's love for exploration and discovery.
