This independent contractor role necessitates a clean background check (fingerprinting) with NO history in CPS/APS.

Scheduling is based on client needs, sometimes requiring flexibility to accommodate evening and weekend visits. It is imperative to adhere to weekly visit schedules for all assigned clients, with missed visits requiring makeup sessions. The role entails significant driving, compensated at $0.65 per mile. Supervised Visitation rate is $30 per hour plus mileage. Supervision rates start at $22 per hour plus mileage.

- Must be at least 21 years old.
