Personal Fulfillment
There is something incredibly rewarding about helping someone grow, feel safe, and thrive in your care. You build deep relationships with the individual you support. You get to witness progress, celebrate milestones, and be part of their journey. Many providers describe it as “a calling” or “more than a job”.
Flexible, Home-Based Work
You’re working from your home, not commuting to an office or facility. You have more control over your daily schedule and routine.
Community and Purpose
You become part of a team - working with CCSS staff, case managers, and others who care. Many providers say they find a deeper sense of purpose and community. You become and advocate and voice for someone who may not have had one.
Ongoing Training and Professional Growth
You’ll receive professional training on medication administration, behavior supports, and so much more. CCSS provides ongoing support, so you’re never alone in the process.
Financial Compensation
Providers receive a daily reimbursement for all individuals in their care, and also can receive room and board payments.
