As a respite care provider at home, you will care for a child or young person with a disability so that parents can get relief. The respite care takes place at home or in the local area, and you can, for example, do crafts, watch movies, play games, or visit a playground in the neighborhood. During this time, parents can run errands, pursue their own activities, spend time with siblings, or simply rest.
As a companion, you support a person with a disability in getting to and from activities, for example to participate in leisure activities or otherwise take part in community life.
Your work tasks and working hours are determined based on what support the user or family needs, but are usually scheduled in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. The scope varies but is typically between 2-5 hours per week. You should intend to keep the assignment for a longer period, at least 6 months.
