Are you in need of respite?

Interested in being a respite provider?

Being a respite provider is a great opportunity to share skills and assist people with a developmental disability to form new relationships.  Depending on the type of respite you provide (In-Home or Hosting); providers are compensated either hourly or flat rate.  The level of commitment can be quite flexible and is individual to each family based on their needs.

Respite providers will be required to have a current (6 months) completed vulnerable sector screening.

If you are interested in being a respite provider, please contact our Family Care Program by phone at (905) 722-8947 x 5536 or by e-mail at respite@communitylivinggeorgina.com
