Childres's Aid & Family Services-seeking 'Professional Parents"

CAFS are seeking committed couples who are passionate about parenting and making a positive difference, to serve as "Professional Parents" to teenagers in either an agency-owned home or possibly their own home.  The agency pays a salary to one stay-at-home parent while the other parent may work outside the home.  Additionally, the agency will pay the rent and utilities of the agency-owned home or assist you with the housing expenses if your home is of sufficient size and meets New Jersey licensing requirements. Ideally couples would be mature-perhaps empty-nesters who miss day-to-day parenting-but welcome adults of all ages unless they have young children.
The agency provides fully comprehensive training and there is support every step of the way, including respite care and the daily support of one of the youth workers.  The Parent will be part of a professional team that is committed to helping vulnerable children succeed and have bright futures.

If you know someone who enjoys helping children and might be interested in this opportunity, encourage them to call 201-226-0300, X 242,  Eileen Jones, Director of Family Recruitment & Community Relations. For more details visit www.cafsnj.org
