A family in the Appleton area is looking to hire a caregiver and mentor for their child, who has autism. This hands-on role is perfect for college students (especially those studying education, special education, nursing, occupational therapy, behavioral health or psychology), healthcare professionals, or anyone with an active, patient heart who has a passion for children and human connection.
