The Caregiver will report to the Caregiver Coordinator
 

Caregivers serve as stand-in parents for children while they are away from their natural parents. Caregivers provide nurture, guidance, and supervision to children at Home of Hope, and are responsible for their safety and well-being.

 

As Home of Hope seeks first to help heal children and prepare them for future success, the Caregiver is the most important role in this process as it is key in providing reliable security and nurture, ensuring that for each child someone notices them and believes they are special. Caregivers also serve the crucial role of noticing individual needs and lagging skills, meeting them, and facilitating additional help/care when necessary.
